First, you need to go into "File" at top left of screen, "Preferences", "Accounting Setup", "Fund Accounting", and make sure the box for "Use transfer accounts" is checked. Mine look like this: 1. TRANSFER ACCOUNTS 9000 Group CR Transfer 4. Transfer to Other Funds 9100 Detail CR Transfer 4. Transfer...

Go to "Maintain List of Accounting Funds" and change the #'s for those accounts to a higher number (out of range) from the ones you use. Then when you run the report for Accounting Fund Balances you have the option of entering what range of funds you want (just don't include the ones you no longer u...

01-1210 Savings acct. (Bank) Debit: 15.00 01-4410 Savings acct interest (income acct.) Credit: 15.00 Here is an example of mine. You go into fund accounting and "enter transactions". For Ref/check # I enter "Interest"; for transaction desc. I enter "Savings acct. interest"; for description I enter "...

You cannot delete if there are transactions, but you can change the fund number to a higher, out of range number, which you can exclude from reports. From Accting select Maintain List of Accting funds. Click locate button and select fund you want to change. Change the accting fund number to a higher...

What is the best way to handle the following situation: You write a check to XYZ company and check clears. You return item to XYZ and they give you a cash refund or check. This cash/check is deposited with regular weekly offerings. What is the best way to enter this refund? Unless it is entered as a...

I appreciate everyone's comments. I set up the pass thru accounts and it scared me when I ran an Inc/exp report and the money wasn't there. But you can run the selected transactions or the account activity and it shows what came in as contributions and what went out with the check. So, like HWesslin...

Should guest speakers, evangelists, and visiting ministries be set up with pass thru accounts? You are taking up a special offering for them, so therefore, the money is going straight to them. And are pass thru accounts a liability and therefore they don't show up as income on the reports? I'm a lit...

I'm new at PowerChurch, so please bear with me... Here is an example of what I was wondering would work: There is an annual fund raising dinner. You sell tickets for $6 each. (Non deductible) Someone gives an outright offering to help purchase the necessary items to prepare the dinner of $500. (dedu...

Now in some cases, we have both deductible and non-deductible (contribution) funds for the same activity. Here's why: If a person wants to provide the monies for another's child to attend a function...that is deductible. If s/he provides funding for their own children's participation in a function, ...

We are set up to do transfer funds under #4250 . I have cleared all the 9000 numbers. Do I start brand new and set up under 9000 or can I convert the 4250 accounts to 9000?
Thanks, Deb

That being the case, I would advise voiding the lost c...

Actually, it's the other way around. The church wrote a check for services to the donor which he says is lost and wants me to change it to a contribution. It was written about 6 months ago.

How do you change an uncleared check into a contribution? A donor has asked me to revert an uncleared (misplaced) check as a tithe contribution.

Thanks, Deb
