Posting to asset accounts - error

[AmandaTarter]

I have made an error in Contributions by setting up the incorrect posting info....I used the same "asset" account on the debit - credit information. What would be the easiest way to correct this w/o having to reverse the entire Contribution post in the accounting?

The information in the Contribution module is ok as is.

Any contribution entered into the Contribution Fund with the mistake in it did nothing when you posted into Fund Accounting. I say it did "nothing". It actually did this:
DB 01-1110-000 $amount
CR 01-1110-000 $amount

To correct this, you can make one entry in Fund Accounting, Enter Transactions:
DB 01-1110-000 $amount
CR 01-4010-000 $amount (whatever your income account is)

If I was doing it, I would leave the Journal Code set to GE, so that in the future, I remember that I had to make this manual entry. I would also make the Reference something like CONTRIB CORRECTION.

You could make the entry look like nothing went wrong. Just change the Journal Code to CO and the Reference to CONTRIB. , which is how it looks when it really comes from the Contributions module.

Those are a couple of options for you.
