Reimbursement Errors
Posted: Mon Apr 30, 2018 12:30 pm
We are using version 10.4 of PowerChurch Plus.
We are wondering how to correct a mistake.
We mistakenly wrote a check to our pastor, reimbursing him for auto expenses to a conference. Actually he had charged those expenses to the church credit card. Instead of reimbursing him we should have paid the credit card. This would have been easy to fix, but he mistakenly cashed the reimbursement check. He will now be reimbursing the church that amount.
How should we enter in the transaction that shows the pastor's reimbursement back to the church?
The initial transaction looked like:
Credit 01-1110-000 Bank $100
Debit 01-5606-000 Pastor's Auto Reimbursement $100
Our theory is that we should enter his reimbursement back to the church in the opposite way that the original transaction was completed:
Debit 01-1110-000 Bank $100
Credit 01-5606-000 Pastor's Auto Reimbursement $100
Thank you for your help.
