Okay...I understand what you are saying, but I still have questions! The people have already paid for merchandise (to make the math easy, let's say they bought $1000 of merchandise). There is $500 in the fund, which they need to be reimbursed with, and need to be given a receipt for the remaining $5...

I am hoping that someone will be able to help me with this question. One of our Temporarily Restricted funds is money from the sale of a CD that our church pianist made. The money is for the Worship committee to purchase some equipment that they have been needing. So far, a lot of the money in the a...

Thanks for the help Matt...another crisis solved! I went and looked back on past entries, and realised that I was taking the Pastor's contribution out, but because the church's contribution was coming out of another (wrong) account, my Balance Sheet was still showing money owing for the pension cont...

Thanks for answering. Matt, I think I will try what you suggested...it looks like that might be my problem. I neglected to mention that I am in Canada, so we don't have 401k, etc. My problem lies in how I have it entered into the program in that it isn't showing that I have remitted the pension paym...

When a Pastor has money deducted from his salary for pension contribution, and the church matches it, how should that be set-up in the Payroll Items for that person? I'm in a bit of a mess right now and although I think I found a way to clean it up, I am now confused as to how the payroll should be ...

I just wanted to thank whoever it is that writes the informative (and extremely entertaining!) "Tales From Tech 2". I am a new user of this program, and I recently finished setting up our accounts, etc. but was having some problems with my Desginated Funds(Donor Restrictions)balances. :? God knew I ...

Matt: Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! The lightbulb has finally gone off above my head, and I think I was already on the right path to the answer I wanted! I had one fund set up, and I already had the Contributions set up with each of the funds. What threw me off was when I wanted to transfer the...

Randy, I understand what you are saying, however, merging two bank accounts into one is just not an option that I can take. It used to all be in one account, and problems occurred. Because members are giving this money for a specific purpose, it needs to be treated in such a way that it will stay se...

Here's how it works on our old system: Each Sunday there is one deposit made...to our main chequing account. This deposits consists of both general revenue AND anything given for a specific fund (i.e. missions, etc.). There are three entries that I make regarding the deposit. Once a month, any money...

Thank you for your help...I am starting to get it straight in my head! :D I am using V.9...let me see if I am understanding correctly. All of my "Designated Funds" should be set up in my Chart of Accounts, only I can send to my Designated Funds bank account, not my main bank account, which will allo...

I posted a question on here a few weeks ago regarding having more than one fund (because we have more than one bank account). I thought I had everything figured out, but I am still going around in circles! :? Here is my situation...we have 2 bank accounts...one for the day-to-day operations and one ...

Well, here is my .02 cents! Maybe it will be of help to you, but I won't be offended otherwise! :) I wish I had something right now to help with scheduling and booking rooms. Not that we are that busy with this kind of thing, however it would be nice to have a system where all the rental prices coul...

Thanks Matt! You've been a great help!

Thanks for answering back Matt, however closing the Des. Funds account is not an option for us. This money must be kept separate, both in the books and the bank as the money has been given for specific ministries and must be available when needed. We used to keep all this money in one account and th...

Okay...I am trying to get my accounting funds set up (properly) and all I seem to have done is gone around in circles and gotten myself all confused! let me explain, and hopefully my question will make sense! :D With our old accounting program, the offerings were all deposited to our main chequing a...
