When attempting to post contributions this message pops up -

Some of the contributions you are posting have a year that does not match the current system year. Or they are dated greater than the current system date. Do you want to continue?

What does this mean? All contribution items have dates that are in December 2007. The Working Month is December 2007.

Is this referring to a "system date" within the application or to the system date on the PC? If the former, how do I determine what it is and/or change it? If the latter, why would the application care - besides 2007 is hardly greater than 2008.

Thanks,

A common call that we get in support during January every year is people who are still used to entering 2007 when entering dates. What happens they enter contributions to 1/6/2007 when they mean 1/6/2008. Or, the opposite happens if they are recording 2007 contributions, they just change the month and day but forget to change the year. (ie 12/30/2008)

The prompt is displayed when the contributions you are posting are not for the same year as the computers system clock, or has a date greater than the system clock.

Aha! So it is about the difference between the PC system date and the transaction date. Ergo, Power Church Plus considers 1/3/08 a lesser value that 12/30/07.

Many thanks and blessings,

Jim,

In this case it sees that 07 does not match the current system year of 08, which is the first part of your error message. Not that 1/3/08 is a lesser value than 12/30/07.
