OK ... where did you get the starting balance for the checking account ??

[ngaham]

I'm off the $5435.91 according to PowerChurch, right?

OK ... does that match anything in the system, a check ?? a deposit ?? Did you uncheck the box at the top of the window to allow all transactions to be seen ??

[ngaham]

Yes I did. I don't see anything with that amount.

[ngaham]

Could it be from a fund transfer?

[NeilZ]

Yes I did. I don't see anything with that amount.

OK ... jot down that amount, then click on the Postpone button. Then go into Funds Accounting run the Check Register report and look through that to see if anything matches.

I realize this is your first reconciliation, but has the system been reconciled in the past or is this a brand new setup?? Sorry, I forget as I work with a few people here

If it was reconciled in the past, run a Bank/Creditcard Reconciliation Report for the month before this (or the last time it was reconciled). See if the system 'zeroed' out there.

Could it be from a fund transfer?

Possibly ... when, why and how did you do a fund transfer? If it was done incorrectly, its very possible that the checking account could be off.

It's a brand new setup.

It's a brand new setup.

And about the funds transfer question ??

[NeilZ]

Oh .. and I forgot to ask the obvious ... you have all transactions posted out of all the modules to Funds Accounting, right ??

[ngaham]

I checked the check register and nothing. When I did my setup you advised me to put everything into Fund 01 and then transfer it to the accounting fund it belonged to. I used transfer accounts for these transactions.

I went back to review that thread. If you followed the transaction as shown, those transactions would have cancelled out as you were debiting the checking account in one fund, and crediting the account in another. Basically cancels each other out.

I'm trying to figure out why the transfer is showing up in the deposits, the only reason what would be is that there wasn't a matching debit or credit.

Find that transaction in "Posted Transactions" and let me know what it shows.

It's a DB from Fund 02 bank account and CR to "Transfer From Fund 01"

It's a DB from Fund 02 bank account and CR to "Transfer From Fund 01"

That's only one half of the transaction, where's the other half

01-1110-000 CR $1000 - Checking
01-9100-000 DB $1000 - Transfer to other funds
02-1110-000 DB $1000 - Checking
02-9200-000 CR $1000 - Transfer from other accounts

02-9200-000 CR $1000 - Transfer from other accounts

I found another transaction that contained the other half. I don't know why I wanted them severally? Maybe due to ignorance.
