We have a few staff members. However, they want their pay items on two checks. They want their Gross and all the Tax Deductions on one paycheck (check printed), and all their other items (Housing, Professional Expenses) they want on a separete check. How can I accomplish this? At the moment, I do ma...

I am not sure if I am the only experience this problem. When I create a invoice, I use Vendor1. But then after saving it, I notice that I used the wrong vendor. So I change the Vendor ID to vendor2, however the name to whom the check will be made out to (when printed) still is the one for vendor1. A...

Is there a way to renumber contribution funds in the middle of the year?
And how is it done?

I think this is probably also for the Wishlist, but I am not sure if other people had the same problem. I was doing bank reconciliation in Powerchurch 9 with the paper statement. And I noticed that in October, when I printed our payroll checks, I used the same check number twice. The banks won't hav...

Whew, I thought my data is corrupt. I noticed it as well on Monday, when I did the weekly reports. It works when I do the Check Register by Fund, but it is easier to do the ALL. So I will be waiting for the next maintenance release.
Any release dates yet established?

Will that fix the accounts payable module as well?
I read the manual, and it says that to reverse an entry, it should rather be made from the originating module.

I am not sure how to do this: We had special contributions made to Florida Relief Efforts. We bought some supplies to send a truck down to Florida with Food, etc. To do that, the church ordered the supplies, and when I entered the Payments into Accounts Payable, as well as charges to a credit card, ...

I like the idea from Jeff. That would be good for the beginning. Just create a menu, drag-and-drop (or even select with checkboxes) the reports you want in that menu. That would be a start, as all reports are in one menu. You don't have to move the mouse too much. I know, the problem comes in that e...

Hi We are using Powerchurch Version 9. I have a question. It might not be possible with the current version, but it is an idea for a future version (or even upgrade - hopeful). I do the finances for our church weekly (sometimes even a few times in a week). I am only the clerk, and we have a finance ...

No, we did not have the house as an asset in Powerchurch. We only had it as a liability. We sold it through an agent, so we never really saw the money. The house mortgage (outstanding was around 24,000), and we had to pay for additional stuff (like home insurance, etc). We sold the house for 28,000,...

We had a Mortgage on a house. We sold it, and we got some money back from the bank (due to overpayment). How do I reduce the Liability to zero? I know to reduce Liability is to put it under credit. What should the debit be? I have income accounts in the Chart of Accounts (where the overpayment went)...

I am not sure if this should go under Fund Accounting, or here. Sometimes it happens that when we receive a Contribution (Tithes or Offering) check, and the bank returns it to us because of insufficient funds in the Givers Checking Account. How should I enter them, or reverse entries? THe credit in ...

Is there a report in Accounts Payable, which lists the Open Invoices which are due/overdue? Say you want all invoices which are due before today, today, and tomorrow (so you would put in tomorrows date). Then the list would contain the Vendor Name, Vendor Code, Amount, and Date Due. The report shoul...

I have a question on the Payroll Liabilities. When I setup the Payroll, for Deductions and Liabilities, I have to enter a Liability account (e.g. Social Security Matching and Social Security Employee, Medicare Matching and Medicare Employee, and also for State Withholdings and Federal Withholdings. ...

How do I setup credit cards in the Chart of Account? It would be nice to track the balance on a credit card, and also see where the expenses went. And then how would I enter the payment to the credit card? Is a credit card a liability, or balance, or expense? Or should it be a totally new fund? And ...
