Its very possible to use two checking accounts under one fund. Each would have its own account number, however, you would be responsible for insuring that the correct checking account was used when creating Invoices or Manual Checks in Accounts Payable, as well as input the check number.

However, I would make sure that the check number series start at different numbers. For example, account 1 starts at 1, and account 2 at 1001. This gives you plenty of space as you write checks, but also since all the check numbers will appear in the Funds Accounting Posted Transactions, it would make it much easier to see at a glance what checking account was used for each.

That said, I've seen that most churches will have a separate checking account per Fund Account. I.E.: Fund 01 - Operations has a checking account, and Fund 02 - Deacons has a separate. In this way you have a good separation and do not have to worry about using the wrong account to pay for different areas within the church.

Could you give some additional information on how you want to use the two accounts ??

Your example fits. 01 is the general fund checkbook, and the 2nd checkbook would be for our missions giving.
