split expense accounts

Post by Karen1065 »

I am new to Power Church and still trying to get the hang of things. I am trying to enter an invoice that has several different expense accounts. Can you tell me how to do that? Example: I am making a Visa payment and the invoice amount is split between operational supplies, vending & fellowship, and charity funds.

Simple ... just keep adding account lines to the invoice for each area you need to payout from.

However, if you're accessing different Accounting Funds as well, it gets complicated. If they all use the same checking account, its not that hard.

You just add the checking account (usually xx-1110-000) from each fund to the invoice, and enter the amount you'd be crediting the checking account for.

Example:
Fund 01 - operations has a bill for an expense of 25, fund Building 02 has a bill for 50

01-1110-000 - Checking - Credit: 25.00
01-5200-000 - SomExp - Debit: 25.00

02-1110-000 - Checking - Credit: 50.00
02-5420-000 - OtherExp - Debit: 50.00

But, if you use different checking accounts, you're going to have to create separate invoices, and issue separate checks.
