Re: Yearly Starting Balances

Thanks for the warning, I didn't add anything. You are absolutely correct, I check my equity accounts (3000 series) and found the cumulative totals. I also discovered that I can get the cumulative totals by running an account activity report that include my previous year. What I was trying to do is ...

Re: Yearly Starting Balances

Re: Yearly Starting Balances

Hi, how are you? Thanks for your help last year. I need your help again. I don't know why my year ending balances (2017) are not being carried forward to the new year (2018). This is happening to all of my 4200 series accounts. For example at the end of 2017 my donor restricted account 4290 had $1,2...

Re: Yearly Starting Balances

Thank you very much everything is in it's proper place. The last follow up question is on how to release funds. Should/Can funds be release before or after they have been posted? When I release funds, I need to use my 4000 series accounts right??

Re: Yearly Starting Balances

1. The answer to your first question is no. I did not use the Maintain List of Donor Restriction function in Funds Accounting to setup these restricted funds. I set them up in the "Maintain Chart of Accounts" in Funds Accounting and Contributions. 2. In the two accounts that are in question only one...

Re: Yearly Starting Balances

Yes, the funds are in the checking account, however I didn't designated them when I set up power church. I want to make sure when I add the funds that it doesn't increase my starting checking account balance, because these funds are already apart of my total balance. These funds will go into into ou...

I need to add funds to the Benevolent fund and the other fund we have designated as the Senior Flower Fund. These funds are set up as income accounts so I know I need to credi...

Re: Reversing Transactions

Thanks again, your response shed new light on the situation. I've only posted one month this year (January), so it looks like I have to go back and reverse all my January transactions, to include all contributors to my mission accounts. Sometimes learning is painful :(

Thanks, again

Re: Reversing Transactions

The information you provided was very helpful. Thank you so much! If its OK, I have a follow up question for you. You indicated that in the contribution setup and maintain a list of accounts section, I needed to put an income account in the credit field. I understand this concept, but I have a few m...

Reversing Transactions

Hi, I posted a months worth of contributions and then I posted them in Fund Accounting, only to discover that I had my banking account debiting and crediting itself. At any rate, I tried to reverse the transactions in Fund Accounting but it gave me a message indicating that reversing the transaction...
