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 ...

Our administration has left without sharing. We've discovered that most of the checks written have not been reconciled in PowerChurch!

Ok, I get that, but when I transfer the assets to PowerChurch, what does the transaction look like? It’s not like they are coming from a donor. Unless I set their church up as a donor?
