. 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 ...

Is there an update planned to address a way to track Non Cash contributions in PowerChurch. We would like to have a convenient way to track ALL costs associated with VBS. Example: for our Vacation Bible School many congregants will donate items to be used for VBS as their way of contributing becaus...

We have some members to use cash app for donations. Cash App deduct fees when the money before it is withdrawn. How are we to account for the donations and the fees? Here's the solution that we've been suggesting whenever such online systems are used, other than Vanco: (H/T jwdick & JohnDMeyers). T...

I put a new check in the printer and forgot it was there and printed a document on it. so, how do I show the check as voided in the system so the auditor can see what happened to the check both visually and recorded? Very simple .....

I've set up my bank accounts in one fund 01 (operations, check only, savings and building fund) do i have to set a second fund account to make transfers I've set up the transfers in (01-9120-000) already. No .. transfer accounts are used to transfer between Funds, not between asset accounts in the ...

We recently began raising funds for a sound system, but had to go ahead and have it installed and paid for before a significant amount was raised. I have the contributions going to temporary restricted funds, but paid for it from the general fund. How do I accurately record this information? I'm st...

What is the proper way to handle the following transaction in Power Church Plus? Our organist is designating her salary (which is typically shown in the Organist expense when it is paid) to debt reduction expense in the chart of accounts. Trying to do this in a way that avoids having to issue a che...

Our administration has left without sharing. We've discovered that most of the checks written have not been reconciled in PowerChurch! Is there a way to run a report showing a list of those unreconciled checks? Thank you in advance for any information that will assist us with this matter. Good grie...
