Automatic Withdrawls/Debit Card Purchases

[thasten]

I just started using PC this January and have a question that hopefully will be simple. We have one main checking account that we use. How is the best way to handle automatic withdrawals (pastor's health insurance and trash pick up for example) and when the debit card is used (Cokesbury for example). I figured out how to create and print checks but want to make sure I am handling these types of transactions correctly since there is no check being used but still hitting the checking account.

Thanks for the help!

Automatic withdrawls can be setup in Accounts Payable as Repeating Items that you can set up to release on a certain date, then you release these monthly. You have to manually do this. These would be setup as MANUAL CHECKS and use something like EFT as the check number.

As far as debit card usage. It would be entered in Accounts Payable as a manual check but use something like DBT_CD as the check number so you can then track the debit card usage.

Does this help ?
