New User Accounting Set up

[fpcgreensburg]

Forgive me for not being able to search previous posts, but I need help setting up our Church's Accounts through Power Church. We previously used the program Shelby and we are having a terrible time transferring accounts from that program to this one, which we just started using.

Is there any way that we can set up from scratch our own line item numbers instead of using pre-determined line item names and numbers for the accounts?

Any help that you could give us on this matter would be greatly appreciated!

There are some default accounts that are put in place by the accounting setup assistant. Most of these are Payroll related expense accounts. You won't be able to delete them until the setup process is complete. Since there are some default Payroll items that are put in place, as an example to help get you started, those items would need to be deleted from the Payroll module, before the accounts themselves can be deleted from Fund Accounting.

When you are at the Edit & Finish Accounting Setup (the second half of the accounting setup process) you do have the ability of changing / deleting some accounts. Click the appropriate button on the left, for the type of accounts you are wanting to work with, then the list of accounts will show on the right. Then select the account you want to change or delete.

This is a fairly indepth process that you are going through. Any help you can get from an accountant, or someone serving as such will help greatly. For more indepth information regarding the PowerChurch side of the process, you may be better served calling in and speaking to someone in Tech Support.
