I found the problem. The Project expense account was set to close to the "Equity" account instead of 01-3110.
That should be correct, as you should release funds from the temp restricted 01-3xxx to cover those expenses coming out out of the 01-3110 .

Re: balance sheet

Several years ago when we first started using the bookkeeping in this program we had an outside company set it up for us. When I pulled the Balance Sheet it shows a couple of accounts that were never monitored from this program and actually no longer exist. One was for a fund when we had a youth ca...

Re: Emailing Contributions

Hi, I emailed contributions for the first time this year and what a time and money saver! However, I had several members who said they did not receive their statement. They are showing up in my sent folder and I did not receive a returned email so I think they are ending up in their spam or junk fo...

Re: Change Pay Period on Payroll

I processed payroll last month for the pay period of March 1-15 and entered the wrong pay date (04/15/25) so I went back and processed again with the correct pay date (03/15/25). I didn't void or reverse anything as it wasn't showing on the March statement since I entered April as the pay date. Now...

Re: Removing Negatives From the Balance Sheet

There are individual transactions that I could probably pinpoint as being the reason why the balances went negative. With some detective work I could probably comb back through our accounting and reverse/correct those transactions and write new ones that won't cause them to go negative. But some ar...
