Post by sdavis0000 »

How do I set up 10 auxiliaries, and maintaining the income and expense for each in one bank account?

Please explain what you mean by 'auxiliaries'? If you mean temporarily restricted donor accounts, that's easy. You would create them using the Maintain List of Donor Restrictions module found under the Accounting -> Fund Accounting -> Setup menu. There's more about these type of accounts in the PC Plus help, as well as the manual.

I have several clubs in the church. Sunday school, choir, women's ministry etc. each group has fundraisers or collect dues. how do i track each club separately in the same savings account? sample choir raised $500.00 youth raised $300.00 and women's ministry raised $1000.00. Sunday school need $100.00 for books, choir needs $50.00. how do I track the income and expense for each group separately in the savings account?

You would setup each as Donor Restricted Accounts, all pointing to the same Asset account but with individual income accounts. Then when you write a check, you would release that amount from the restriction using the 'Release Restricted Funds' button on the invoice.

That said, unless you can write checks from the savings account, I would have all these accounts setup to go into CHECKING, and let the system handle the balances in each account.
