Made too many mistakes! Can I start all over & redo last yr?
Posted: Fri Mar 26, 2021 9:42 pm
Our other financial software was dropping info, etc. so our church purchased PowerChurch Online and I use it on my laptop. I recently purchased a new HP with the latest Windows.
I had never used double entry before. I could not work on entering the data full time from the system that was crashing, just entering everything (full year 2020) in PowerChurch Online as I could, since I had to spend so much time trying to keep the bills paid/payroll going in QB Online before it totally crashed
.
I made so many mistakes, didn't fully understand Void and Reverse using the correct month's posting date. Needless to say a lot of the records in 2020 are wrong, some were corrected posting in the wrong month so when I'd get to work on PowerChurch to work on 2020 again, I wouldn't realize my earlier correction had posted in wrong month and I'd make a second correction!! It is a mess!!
Is there anyway to start fresh? I'd still need to be able to use 2021 because entries in this year are correct, and I'd still need to keep up with paying bills and payroll. By now I've made so many mistakes in 2020, I can't give a balance sheet for the annual business meeting. I realize how to make entries correctly now. I'd just like to re-do all of 2020. It's hard for me to even try to reconcile a bank statement with the entries I have made in 2020.
Any help from anyone?
