I am new to using Powerchurch and have a question. What is the difference between the check register and the journal report on the checking account (a/c 1110 in our situation)? I am having to reconcile a full year at once, and it has been a nightmare. Now I'm noticing differences b/w the register and 1110's journal, and I am not sure why that would be happening.
Thank you for any help/info. you can give before I pull my hair out!

Re: Check Register compared to Journal Report
The only real difference between those two reports is that the Check Register pulls transactions only by date, whereas the Journal Report (and most every other Fund Accounting report) pulls transactions by Accounting Month.
If you have transactions that are posted to a different month than the date of the transaction, these two reports will not show the same transactions. For example, posting a transaction dated 10/20/2010 to the month of May 2010 will cause those two reports for the months of May and October to not agree. The transaction would be included in an October Check Register, but not an October Journal Report.
