Locking Giving Batches

You have the ability to lock giving batches that are entered in the Giving Screen. This feature is optional in ChurchTrac's church donation software.

Why lock a Giving Batch

This feature is helpful for keeping your records from accidentally being changed after they've been finalized. It also adds an extra layer of security and accountability to your ministry by making it virtually impossible to change donations after the fact.

Once a batch is locked, you are unable to add new contributions, edit amounts, or remove contributions from a locked batch.

When to lock a Giving Batch

We recommend locking a giving batch once it has been finalized or reconciled. Once locked, a giving batch cannot be edited or deleted.

How to lock a Giving Batch

To lock a Giving Batch, select the giving batch date you wish to lock, select the "Actions" button, and then select "Lock Batch". You will be prompted to confirm.

If a batch has been locked in error, your ChurchTrac Admin must reach out to ChurchTrac support to edit/delete your locked Giving Batch.
