Thanks for the reply! I think I understand the process setting up the donor restrictions and releases, but the documentation is very short of coherent examples using consistent accounts. Additionally, most PC+ documents don't reflect the changes from FASB ASU 2016-14. I know it only applies to "ext...

What is the recommended best practice in setting up an asset account that contains money with several designations? Is this a case where sub-account codes should be used? I'm not seeing any good examples in the Powerchurch documentation. For example - a savings account (or a CD) containing funds th...

We had to stop payment on a check for a vendor. Our bank charges a $30 fee for that. I'm unclear on how to enter that into PowerChurch. Do I set up the bank as a vendor, then enter as a payment? Or is there a more elegant way? Thank you in advance. What I usually did was enter the transaction in FU...

We recently purchased the power church check reader. Unless I'm using it wrong it doesn't seem to be that much of a time saver. I was hoping it would not only read the MICR but the amount on the check. Is there a reader that does that? The Program only can recognize the account number, which is ass...

I think a better solution would be for Power Church to change the program so that if the company puts zero dollars for the budget for the year that they show any income or expense (depending on the account type) as Non-Budgeted. If you think that, you should create a request and send it to Wishlist...

This problem has bit us several times. Is anyone from PowerChurch going to answer it?

Obviously, this is not something that is a problem for most of the users of the program. You could create two accounts, Misc Income - Budgeted, and Misc Income - NonBudgeted.

Powerchurch V. 14.4 I am inquiring if there is any way that I can restrict users by accounting funds. I would like to give access to the accounting module restricted by the accounting fund; thus, someone responsible for the general fund 01 cannot post to the cemetery fund 02 and vice versa. It woul...

Hi Everyone, I'm very new here and have not purchased PowerChurch yet but I am wondering how PowerChurch works as a church membership AND as an accountant package. Ideally, given the size of our church (approx 100), we would like a package that functions well at both. I would like to know particula...

We have 20 years of data in PowerChurch Online, and some old expense accounts that seem to predate even that. Many hands have resulted in the end of the chart of accounts looking like an illogical mess, so I'm trying to clean things up. I have several accounts where: --I run an activity report that...

I am adding new activities under the "Maintain Activities & Skills" menu. Under the lower categories on the screen, Activity Department, Activity Type and Default Role the option under the drop down menu for <Add New Code> is missing. I am assuming this is a software bug or how do I go about adding...

I am new user and considering the jump to the reader. Do you use the PowerChurch Check Reader? Pros/Cons. Is it easy to use? Does it post details to Contributions/Donors? TY :D FWIW the check reader works fine. After the first time you associated the donor's checking account with the donor's Contri...

Thanks, we have a Windows Server 2012 box. Previously they were told that they could not upgrade Powerchurch on that server. FWIW ... Server 2012 is very old, and has been out of support for a while. You can host Powerchurch on a NAS drive because it would actually run on the client computer. If yo...

Not sure if this is in the right place or not but I have a couple of people wanting to directly deposit from their 401K, I am not even sure how that is possible. Or if it is possible. I assume once it goes into the bank it would be posted as a regular deposit. Does anyone else have members of their...

I've had this problem before and the tried the fixes then, but they don't work. When trying to extract a file to excel I get :Error:1429, Method report_export, Line 122, OLE.... I've restarted the computer as well as install PCPLUS (c:\powerchurch\pcplus14\nstall, but i still get the error. So you ...

Hello PowerChurch team, We have a big problem with double entry of schedules for Visitations and Events. Our staff uses Google/Outlook calendars, and we enter everything into PowerChurch for membership tracking. I've seen that there are solutions for synchronizing calendars with each other, especia...
