Posting a split check

[Mario]

Just getting started with PC+ and I was wondering if it is possible to post a split check? For instance, we track the utilities for the church and the rectory separately but only write one check to the utility co.

When you create an invoice in Accounts Payable, you will specify your utilities vendor. You can specify a default credit and debit account in the vendor setup, but you'll need to include the additional lines in the invoice to provide the distribution. For instance, if you want to write a check for $100, your invoice may look like this:

bank account - $100 credit (total amount of check)
rectory utilities expense - $30 debit
church utilities expense - $70 debit

Does that help?

I have created a expense accouint under each utility for Rectory and Church. Will I be able to charge it to those accounts in the invoice and PC+ record it as such? Will it come up on the report with the expense accounts being charged accordingly.

[Zaphod]

yes, you have the ability to include multiple line items in a single invoice, and each of them will be posted appropriately.

Thank you so very much. This board will be a great help.
