Re: Saving accounts

Another interpretation of the same question: "what should we have done when setting up the beginning balance":

CR 01-1110-000 checking "setup beginning balance capital savings" $2,000
DB 01-1120-000 capital savings "setup beginning balance capital savings" $2,000

Re: Saving accounts

When you print your check for an expense that ultimately comes out of a savings account, use the checking transaction to accurately record the expense account, then transfer money from Savings to Checking to cover the check. (that is how I am interpreting your question). If I am misunderstanding you...

Re: Fund / Cash Balances

Are you using more than one Fund? Like General Fund, Missions Fund, etc.

Sometimes the fund balance gets out-of-whack when a debit is made to one Fund and the credit is made to another Fund.

Re: Matching Check Dates with bank statment

Mark:

Does your bank statement list the checks by check number order as well as by date? Most banks do this, I think. Some online banks may not.

If so, can't you use the list of checks sorted by check order to do your reconciliation?

Re: AR Default Debit Account

In Accounts Receivable, you set up an Item Description and give it an income account in Fund 04. When you receive a payment, in Accounts Receivable / Maintain Open Payments, the "default checking" account appears, which is probably from Fund 02. You can set your default checking account in File / Pr...

Re: pypall contributions

I am not familiar with the online payment feature. If you are using it, then the manual Contribution entry would seem to be redundant.

Re: pypall contributions

It is apparently the two Contributions entries that are incorrect.

You only need the one that Debits Pay Pal (1140) in Contributions for $300

The second one that transacts 1110 should be done in Fund Accounting for $290.10 since that is the only amount that actually makes it into checking.

Re: pypall contributions

Does your Pay Pal account and the checking account have the same 4-digit account number?

Re: pypall contributions

In the reconciliation window, I take it you are seeing two deposits of $300 each (or possibly three entries, $300 plus $290.10 plus $9.90)? If so, do all the entries show the Reference "CONTRIB."? (meaning that it came from the Contributions module). My first guess is that someone made a second depo...

Re: Deleting an Account Fund

Since you posted transactions in this fund last year, you cannot delete while those transactions exist.

You can renumber it to a higher number (like Fund 99) to move it out of the way of current reports.

Re: Voiding Payroll Checks

Were they posted in Payroll? I am not sure where you tried to void the checks, in Payroll or in Fund Accounting.

I can say with certainty that they were not posted in Fund Accounting.

You can void them in Payroll after they are posted there.

Re: Number of Users

The basic price, $39.95/mo. ($455/yr.) is two concurrent users.

After that, you can $25.00/mo. ($275/yr.) per two concurrent users.

Is there a limit?

Hmmm. Not if money is infinite! :wink:

Re: Contribution Reports/Deposit slip

I would need to know about the "move" from one server to another.

Did you install PowerChuch on the new server, and then restore a backup from the old PowerChurch?

Did you install PowerChuch on the new server, and then do a file copy from the old PowerChurch?

Other?

Re: credit card purchases

The best work-around we have found is to make the REFERENCE three letters long, and put as much information in the Description field as possible.

On most reports, we get this:
BCA (for "Bank Card") is the REFERENCE field

BCA pens
BCA amazon purchase
BCA parts for copier

Re: Accounting Beginning Balance Wrong

To make an increase in the beginning balance: DB 01-1110-000 $100 CR 01-3110-000 $100 To make a decrease in the beginning balance: CR 01-1110-000 $100 DB 01-3110-000 $100 You may want to date the transaction Jan. 1 2014 and post in January, if that month is still open.
