*Please note: You do NOT need to manually enter any Schedule B disbursements for In-Kinds if you're using CrimsonFiler for your FEC reports. CrimsonFiler will automatically create the corresponding disbursements when you import your data from Crimson into your FEC reports.
In-Kind contributions are entered into Crimson in the same way as any other type of contribution, but the payment type is marked as “IK – In-Kind” during the data entry or import process.
**For more information on how to enter batches into Crimson, please refer to the Contributions - Data Entry solution in the HelpDesk. For more information on how to import lists of contributions into Crimson, please refer to the Importing Lists of New Contributions solution in the HelpDesk.
