We have just recently upgraded our Powerchurch software to version 11. But, when the counting team entered the offering from yesterday, they entered it in the old version. Is there an easy way to get that data from the old version and into version 11 without re-entering everything by hand? Thanks so...

Wow, that is a lot to process. Would it make a difference if the "Mortgage Principal" liability account is setup and paid out of the "Debt Reduction" fund? Fund 2? That is where it is located now. So it is in the same fund as the "Debt Reduction" liability account. I appreciate your time. I will def...

Our church is currently running a "Debt Reduction" campaign for the mortgage. So members are contributing to reduce the mortgage principal owed. I am thinking I created a problem the way I set things up. I setup a Debt Reduction Accounting Fund. Then I setup a contribution fund that debits the bank ...

Thanks for the reply. Is there a way to move this question into the Fund Accounting portion of the forum?

I am trying to bring some sense of order to how I handle pass-through contributions in Power Church. Right now I have moved a lot of these into different funds, for example: Fund 65 Chapel Fund - Income that will be used for chapel renovations Fund 85 Fellowship Activities - Money is collected for t...

Hello! We have recently had several fundraising activities in our church. With the first several I just set up income & expense accounts in the General Fund. Well, then people were complaining because the income was so far away from the expense on the financial statements. They wanted to be able to ...

We paid an expense in January out of the Building Fund. They want it to show up in the General Fund P&L from now on. So I need to move the expense over to the General Fund from January. So this was the entry: 02-1120 Building Checking $621.00 CR 02-8010 Expense $621.00 DR It should have been: 01-112...

When I am reconciling our main checking account, there is a vendor check from 2007 that hasn't cleared. The problem is, this check doesn't even show up in the check register or journal reports for that date. We actually weren't even using Power Church for A/P in 2007. I believe it was entered as an ...

We have been collecting money for a retreat for the youth in our church. Originally, that money setup to go into the General Fund Checking and a Retreat Income account. Our treasurer doesn't want that money appearing in the General Fund Checking because we don't want to accidentally spend it. So I s...

As mentioned in previous posts, I am new to PC+ and my bookkeeping position at a church. Unfortunately, I am having to sort through a lot of things that were done incorrectly and figure out how to fix them in PC+. My latest discovery is I have balances in Payroll Liability accounts that should not b...

Thank you so much!

I am new to my position as bookkeeper at a church. So I am trying to sort through a lot of things that were done before my time. We have a building fund checking account. Starting in March all contributions are deposited into the main checking account and monthly a check is written for all "building...

I wasn't sure because it gave me a warning when I saved it that said:

WARNING: This transaction uses accounts from more than one accounting fund.

Do you want to continue?

I am not sure what the protocol is for using or not using multiple funds in transactions.

I need to enter an invoice to be paid from 2 separate funds. Can I do an entry like this? Amount =$254.39 01-1110-000 Primary Checking (CR) 104.39 01-5628-300 Expense (DR) 104.39 30-1110-000 Primary Checking (CR) 150.00 30-8010-000 Deacon Fund Expense (DR) 150.00 Or do I need to enter 2 separate ent...

I have several bills that need to be broken down and paid from different funds. Being new to PCP, this is what I have done previously: With a credit card bill, there was a charge that needed to be paid out of the Deacon's Fund. So I entered a separate bill for the Deacon Fund Portion - Fund 30. So I...
