Add Bulk "Edit Payment Date" Functionality to Grants Area Menu
Please add this option to the grants area menu, between "Edit Decision Date" and "Set Grant Type" (see attached image for reference).
Why This Matters:
From an accounting perspective, the grant date drives when the expense is posted to the GL. However, grants are scheduled for payment on a future date.. not the same date as a grant date. Currently, we have manually edit the payment date grant when it is created grant by grant. There is not an option to enter a payment date when a grant is created.
A bulk edit option is critically needed as it would save significant time and make it most efficient for pulling grant payment files to submit to the finance department.

Yes! Payment date is rarely the same as grant date so having the option at the time of entry would be great.
And for grants coming from the portal, having a bulk edit option would be ideal. We currently change these all individually.
