Follow revenue from its source to the books.

TERN is PF TECH’s framework for connecting the trail between revenue systems, payment handoffs, and accounting records, so non-profit teams can see what happened and where review is needed.

A supported pilot is currently available. Broader TERN access will expand in stages.

One revenue trail across several systems

A membership platform may hold the registration, a processor may settle the payment, and the accounting system may receive a different reference again. TERN provides the framework for connecting those handoffs and making reconciliation easier to follow.

TERN connects a revenue source through payment and settlement to accounting, while surfacing exceptions for responsible staff review.
  1. Revenue source
  2. Payment
  3. Accounting
  1. Exception surfaced
  2. Responsible staff review

Source systems remain authoritative.

Connection and retention methods are confirmed system by system, based on what each source can provide and what the workflow requires.

  • Connect the references

    Carry the identifiers needed to trace a record across connected systems.

  • Surface the exceptions

    Make agreements visible and bring incomplete handoffs forward for review.

  • Keep people in control

    Leave accounting treatment and exception resolution with the responsible staff.
