Neil, thank you for your reply. The funds used to pay for the large expense were not restricted. The Contribution Fund you are referring to would be the one our Financial Secretary points to when recording the gift, correct? I am familiar with we set those up. Thanks again! Yes ... exactly right .....

We paid for a large expense and are raising funds after the fact. Because the expense has already been paid, can we allocate these donations to an unrestricted income account? Or do we need to put the contributions in a donor-restricted fund? If we must use a donor-restricted fund, how do we releas...

I cannot print payroll checks.

That really doesn't give anyone data to act on. Can you print checks from Accounts Payable?

How should I post overtime in 2025 in light of the new bill that recently passed, that if I understand correctly is retroactive to Jan 1, 2025? Specifically, it must be reflected on the employee's w2. We pay non exempt employees a salary, and if they work over 40 hours in a week, then also overtime...

Neil, I know this is an old topic, but I am in the same position as Murray_Page. I understand the simple debit/credit transaction for moving the funds from checking to the investment, but how would you record the actual check writing transaction that would occur to get the money to the investment f...

Hi, So we switched over from Simply Accounting, and I had printed out my outstanding checks from SAGE to put into the setup assistant. However, Simply Accounting didn't show the payroll checks, and now I have completed the setup (though I haven't posted any transactions/payroll) and I have just not...

I cannot figure out how to network a computer to the host computer that has powerchurch on it. I’ve shared the powerchurch file on the host computer. When I go to the computer I want to network to the host computer…..when I find the correct computer and double click on it, it asks for the computer ...

. I guess you missed the part where the OP said she didn't want to do an ACH, as its wasn't worth the money. So my suggestion will work for what she wants to do. That is not what I read, I saw that the OP has ability to do ACH, just not worth the API/upload of the direct deposit file? Perhaps I mis...

I am OP and I just don't want to do a file upload or API (third party), just want to pay about 5 checks monthly thru Direct Deposit. I saw that I can go onto my bank website and enter the employee's account info and amount and date and they charge me $1 for the ACH and that's it. It seems like I ca...

Hi, We have only 6 employees but they have been persistent in asking about Direct Deposit rather than checks. How do we get started with this? I found that I can enter the ACH transaction with my bank (with such a small number of employees, it's not worth an API/upload). What do I need to do with P...

On the Activity Report, we see different Journal Sources. How is the module determined between JE (Journal Entry) and GE (General Ledger Entry)? When I enter a transaction, it appears as a GE. Thank you, In Powerchurch, the default for when you enter a transaction via Funds Accounting is GE. The re...

During our lack of electricity for three months as a result of a burglary, a member donated 2 generators. Where should we record that donation? There really isn't a place in Powerchurch to do 'non-cash' donations. What I would do is create a letter to the donor, as specified in IRS Pub 1828, on pag...

This is a first for us. One of our employees asked for a $800 loan to be paid back in weekly installments. Where should the loan payments be reflected in PowerChurch? Thank you in advance for any assistance with this. This is not new income, so you can't claim any income unless you're going to char...

C You may have to post transactions in fund accounting after they are posted in the contributions module (someone else may verify, as I cannot recall off-hand because we do it via importing contribution files). If you haven't changed the default Post Contribution settings, it does post directly to ...
