We are PC v 11.5 users. A contributor to our church using PayPal made a contribution on December 30th per the notification that we received
; but it didn't deposit to our Checking account until January 5th. We however keyed the transaction from the notification in December. Of course it is on our December report in Power church but not on our December bank statement. The contributor's wish was to have it included on his 2014 contribution statement. We did as requested but now what can we do to fix the difference in the deposits.

Was this deposited separately in Fund Accounting? Or was it deposited with other amounts?

Then there should not be a problem. You still should be able to reconcile your January bank statement. The deposit will just be un-reconciled until your February bank statement. The same thing would happen with checks you mailed on the last day of the month.

It is proper to give credit to the donor in 2014. The general rule is the donor would get credit when they gave up control of the money. When the mailed the check in case of postal mail or when the initiated the transaction in online giving.
