Why would I see a balance on the Trial Balance, but when I pull the Account Activity report for that same account (Net asset), it says I have a zero balance? Shouldn't they agree? I am trying to "undo" entries that were made for a temporarily restricted release. I have made all the entries to transf...

Oops! Thank you, Neil! Sorry about that.

I would like to see your chart of accounts for how you set up a separate accounting fund. I am interested in looking at how this is done. I will also review my manual to better understand what you are saying. It makes sense that you would not want to include these funds in your daily cash flow and i...

If we come close, but don't realize the full income payment to the camp, I can pay what we have from pass thru contributions and the remainder from the expense account. Or transfer from expense to cover the negative liability. Will that be acceptable?

I would not have thought of that as a pass through. That makes it a lot simpler. So it would be best not use a fund account at all for camp registration payments. If I pay the camp before the full payments are received from the campers, would I go ahead and pay from the pass through account, creatin...

I am still working my way through how the Fund Accounting works and I have another question. If I have set up a Fund Account for Student Registration Fees, at a high contribution fund number, say 2500, so it would not be included in contribution reports... In the Maintain Contribution Funds, would I...

It would be very helpful to be able to pull a report from the Family Mailing List by tagging specific families and then to include options that we would like to see on the report. For instance, the report should show parents and list children at that address, and then be able to choose to include st...

Thank you! I will add it to the wish list!

My problem was created because I did not set up the Fund for Benevolence until after I had opened the savings account. So the balance that is showing in the restricted account was actually from donations received after that date for that designated account. I think I see what you mean, though. It so...

Hello! For some reason, I am having trouble pulling a "tagged" report that gives me the parents and children grouped together on the same report. The children are not pulling forward to the report at all. I have tried all of the Family Mailing Reports. I can pull from personal profiles, but that wou...

No, this is a different issue altogether. :-) The $100.00 was actually just an amount that was decided to be used to open the account. It was not designated by anyone. We just moved it from general checking to open the Benevolence Savings Account. I have $100.00 more in the savings account than I do...

I credited the checking account and debited the savings account.

It was a transfer from one account to open the other.

I'm not sure I understand how this would work, without causing my account balances to be out.

In January of this year, we opened Benevolence Savings account. In February I set up a Temporarily Restricted Account for Benevolence. How do I get the dollar amount in the Temporarily Restricted Account to match the savings account balance? It is a difference of $100.00, which is the amount that wa...

Mr. Meyers, You have been so helpful, explaining everything to me. I did not understand that the expense accounts with balances move to the unrestricted net asset account when the new budget is created. I have learned something through all of this! Thank you so much for your time and experience, and...

I am so sorry! You are so right! There is a debit balance.
I have not yet made any entries. I wanted to understand what I was doing first!
