TIMS Grant Details Page

We haven't had any issues with this, but the other day we got an email from FIRST Finance with subject "Thank You - Payment Received" with the content:

"Thank you for making a payment for FRC Team - . (NOTE: The team number was indeed missing in the email) Please treat this email as your receipt of payment."

It was confusing because we had covered our two regionals and were only waiting for FF to send us a regrant from excess funds, and had not/no reason to send a payment.

It was cleared up a second later with an email from the Submittable saying the regrant had been approved, but confusing nonetheless. In any case, I'm sure FIRST Finance is swamped right now so it's no big deal for us at least.

Over the years I have noticed what is shown about grants on the web site has a loose connection with reality. I don't think is is any bad intent, more of the web site doesn't meet the needs of the accounting department. Also the large sponsors that sponsor many teams often write one check late in the process. First knows it is coming, but it creates accounting wonkyness.
