Article summary

After creating recommendations for new charities (chose the new charity option when creating recommendation) on DonorCentral and then trying to import them into FIMS, I am getting an error message that says the state chosen in DonorCentral does not exist.

Steps To Duplicate:
  1. Log into DonorCentral and create a new recommendation for a new charity (did not choose one already existing)
  2. Log into FIMS grants module > Import grants button > New suggestions found
  3. Create Grantee
  4. Create profile and grantee
  5. Ok > state code does not exist error shows
  6. Verify that the state code does exist in FIMS database and DonorCentral
Answer:
This was caused by the suggestion field mapping not being correct. The DonorCentral state field needs to be mapped to the FIMS abbreviation.
