Our treasurer writes, "When I entered July data, using July and the accounting month but had a posting date of August, all the entries appeared in August. Sally and I tried to enter the data many different ways and it did not work. Would you please call and see if they changed anything in the program? "

Does anybody know what the cause of this might be? The solution? Has something in PowerChurch changed?

Thanks!

(I work mostly with membership and accounts payable.)

Version 11.5 can set the posting month for you automatically, based on the transaction dates being posted over to Fund Accounting. This is true when posting from Contributions, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, and Payroll. You see the posting month/year prompt all grayed out and inactive, with a check box option labeled "Transaction date determines accounting month". Uncheck that option to choose a different posting month.

Thanks for the reply, I'll pass this on to our treasurer!

Has anybody had a problem correcting these transactions? Our treasurer and the volunteer who reconciles our accounts have been having a problem reversing the the transactions and getting them into the proper month.

They are evidently not doing it correctly. If they are using the View Posted Transactions function of Funds Accounting, all they should be doing is double click on the incorrect transaction, look at the details when shown, then click on the Reverse button.

The program will then create the CORRECT reverse transaction and it will post to the month the incorrect transaction posted to.
