Grant document attachment: Option to set to no grant document by fund or fund group
I would love to be able to set a default "no grant document" by fund or fund type and then have a choice at grant letter to turn off the letter like we can for award letter. It is tedious to find and delete attached grant letters to grants that do not require letters. In our case, we do not send letters with grants that come in from GLM. I understand I can turn it off by check batch, but that means I need to sort out which grants are which at the time of the check run each time so they aren't in the same batch.
I also have a backlog of grant documents in the "Document" bucket that I would like to remove without having to click into each batch.

We realize there was an Idea Lab suggestion to have an Optional Grant Letter. It’s been marked as implemented, with the suggestion to separate check batches. That’s a bit unwieldy, so we’d like to propose a better idea.
We’d like the ability to have default settings for grant letter production, based on the fund. The idea would be that at the fund level, we could specify its grant letter default, either a grant letter or no grant letter. That new field added to funds should be included in bulk edit for funds, so that we can easily establish them. Once set, this grant letter setting would then carry over to any grants made from the fund. At the grant level, the choice could be overridden. That would help prevent all of the unnecessary grant letters produced today.
