Fund Accounting Setup, Account pending deposit not posting

[ChristGuard]

I just set up the accounting modulus. When I set it up it asked for bank accounts, balances, and pending debits (it called them 'Checks') or deposits. I put in a few that were pending (I had a deposit from 2016 I had not brought to the bank). Those deposits have now posted in my actual bank account, how do I get them to post to my PowerChurch accounting?

Have you run an Unposted Transactions report? What does it show?

It says "No unposted transactions". Should I just do a one time deposit to bring the account current?

Hmmm ... try this first: From the Accounting menu, select Fund Accounting then Reconcile Bank/Credit Card accounts. Select the checking account's account number (should default as 1110) then set the date as today and leave everything else blank, unless they say you need a number then just enter 100. Then click next, take a look to see if those pending transactions are there? Let us know what you find.

Yup there they are. What should I do with them?

Then wait for your Bank Statement and then reconcile as you normally would. If you entered the starting balance of the checking account from your last checking account statement's balance, then entered all the checks and deposits that were created since that statement when you ran the Fund Accounting wizard, then when you reconcile it should all turn out right.

Perfect thanks again!
