Why do Grant Suggestions disappear from the Fund Summary page on Donor Central?

After a Donor Advisor submits a Grant Suggestion through Donor Central, it shows under Pending Suggestions on the Fund Summary Page. But then it disappears when I import it into FIMS. This is confusing. We need it to stay on the Fund Summary Tab so our Donor does not think the grant is lost.

There is actually a setting in Donor Central that controls this behavior. To update:

Go to Site Configuration > Admin Portal
Click on the Fund Summary Settings Link.
Set ‘Keep Pending Suggestions Until Paid’ to Yes.
Enter a date for ‘Pending Suggestion Date’ that is a few months in the past.
Click 'Submit Setup Changes' and wait for a confirmation.

Now the Grant Suggestion will stay in Pending Suggestions until you approve and post it in FIMS.
