When scanning checks in the BMT, many Donors will be assigned to their Donations automatically. The below flow chart describes how the system matches Donors to a scanned Donation.

Donor: The person making the Donation and receiving tax-credit.
Donation: The tax-deductible gift being made to the church.
Donor Account: The record containing the account and routing number from scanned MICR that helps identify the Donor. One Donor might have multiple Donor Accounts (gives using multiple or changing check MICR) or a Donor Account might be shared among many Donors (as with Bank and Bill Pay checks).
