We received the following error and I'm looking for guidance on how to address it. We noticed one of our NPSP Data Import Batch was deleted. Could this be related? Thank you.

Hey Kathleen,
This is a genuine, documented pattern in NPSP's Customizable Rollups engine, CRLP_SkewDispatcher_BATCH timing out is unrelated to your Data Import Batch object being deleted. The Skew Dispatcher just processes rollup calculations for records with unusually high numbers of related transactions (like a household with thousands of donations), and it can occasionally hit Salesforce's platform-level batch timeout if there's a lot of data or a temporarily large batch to process, this is a known NPSP behavior, not a bug tied to your Data Import Batch.
Since it's happened once so far, per NPSP's own troubleshooting guidance, this is usually self-resolving on the next scheduled run, the job will simply retry that batch. Only worth investigating further if:
- It repeats consistently (not just once)
- You notice actual rollup values (like Total Gifts, Largest Gift, etc.) on Accounts/Contacts are stale or missing afterward
If you want to confirm nothing's actually broken, check Setup > Apex Jobs to see if npsp__CRLP_SkewDispatcher_BATCH completed successfully on a later scheduled run. If it did, no action needed.
On the deleted Data Import Batch: this error type has nothing to do with NPSP Data Import at all, that's a separate object/process entirely (Data Import handles Batch Gift Entry/Import records, Customizable Rollups handles donation summary calculations). If a Data Import Batch record actually got deleted, that would've required a manual delete or a separate automation/script, not something this rollup timeout would cause.
