Users can create and manage donation logs from the R365 app. Donations allow users to track and debit any donated items from inventory to an account specific to donations.
From their mobile device, users can also view a listing of all 'In Progress,' 'Complete,' and 'Approved' donation logs on the donation list screen.
A donation template that has been created for the selected location can be used when creating a donation log for more efficient entry.
