Contributions/Accounting

[DCMI]

Hello, I'm not sure if this needs to go to "Contributions" or "Accounting"...Here goes...

As far as I know, I set up the accounting portion of Power Church correctly...However, when I go into the contributions module to add a contribution, I click the magnifying glass to display the accounts for me to add the contributions to and nothing shows up...I'm not sure what I did wrong...

I set up the income accounts. How do I get them to show up on the contributions module? Thanks...

Are you looking at the "Fund No." in the Enter Contributions screen?

or Are you looking at the "Credit (income) account" in the Maintain List of Contribution Funds screen?

if the latter, then go back to Fund Accounting and run your reports for the Chart of Accounts to see what accounts are set up.

It sounds like you might have not set up the list of contribution funds yet. If not, you have to create contribution funds that are associated with income accounts. For instance, our Contribution Fund 100 points to the fund accounting account number 01-4101-000 (Tithes and Offerings). I don't know if you have done this or not, so bear with me if you have. Go the contributions menu and click on Maintain List of Contribution Funds. The form that comes up will allow you to assign a contribution fund number, name it, and tie it to the debit and credit accounts. So, for the example above, the contribution fund would look like this:

Contribution fund number: 100
Contribution fund name: Tithes and Offerings
Debit (bank) account: 01-1100-000
Credit (income) account: 01-4101-000

Hope this is helpful and forgive me if you've already done this.

Thank you so much for your reply...I guess I didn't realize that the two funds (i.e., the "accounting" and the "Contribution") had to be set up seperately. I did the whole "contribution fund" creation and it fixed the problem.

Thanks again for your help. These forums are great...

Indeed, the funds are entirely separate as they are separate modules. You will post from Contributions to Funds Accounting when you finish entering contributions for the period. That posting will create the transactions that will show the income in Funds Accounting.

You have to make sure you have the correct debit and credit accounts selected under the Contribution Fund setup for this procedure to work.

Since you are new to PC+, I do suggest you go over the manual to understand the differences between the funds .
