I was begining to enter our bank deposits I chose the following:

Enter transactions
Typed a Ref:
Trans Desc:

Clicked Amount and 01-1110-000 pre-populated with Gen Fund under the account name.
Under Debit I enter the amount of the Bank Deposit

I went to the next line and pressed F2 and locate account box comes up. I'm looking for Tithe, Offerings, or contributions but don't see it. I take it that it's not a default account so I have to create it right? and when thats done that account will be my credit?

Thanks,

The default chart of accounts doesn't have a detail income account, only a Group heading.

Go to Fund Accounting, ADD
Detail, Income
4100-000
General tithes
Level 4
next, next, attach it to 01 Fund
closes to 01-3110-000

Then, your transaction will have these components:
DB 01-1110-000 checking
CR 01-4100-000 general tithes

Ok sounds good. this is what I ended with: And I would do offering or Building account the same way right? i.e. 4110-000; 4115-000 and so on?

Account: 4100-000
Description: General Tithe
Type: Detail
Category: Income
Level: 4
PageBreak: No
Note:

This account will be added to the following funds:
01 - GENERAL FUND
Closing to account: 01-3110

That is correct.

Thank you much. Bless you

Now ... don't forget to assign these funds to the Funds in Contributions. In this way, when you post your contributions to Funds Accounting in the future, they will post to the correct income accounts.

You do this through the Maintain Contribution Funds function under Contributions.

Hold up wait a minute ..... I just found 01-1200-000 contributions so your saying I need to post to this account? So it will be like this:
DB: 01-1100-000 gen fund
CR: 01-4100-000 gen tithe

Now I need to do to
Accounting / fund accounting/ Post?

What Neil was suggesting involves using the Contributions Module. Your reply indicates you are setting up a transaction in Fund Accounting, not the Contributions module.

To answer your question, yes, you need to Post Transactions at that point.

If you wish to use the Contributions Module, you would set up a Contribution Fund to basically do the same thing, like this:

Contribution Fund / Setup / Maintain List of Contribution Funds
ADD
Fund: 100 Name: General Tithes
Accounting tab
DB 01-1110-000 checking
CR 01-4100-000 general tithes
SAVE

Harold,
are you using the Contribution module? If so, you should have contribution funds set up for various types of income. For example, let's say you have "100 General Offering", "200 Building Fund", "400 Annie Armstrong". When contributions are recorded, you will specify which of these funds the money will go in.
Then when you are finished with a given week's contribution entries, you will post it to accounting module. It will automatically create the transactions you need and will look something like this:......

................................................DEBIT.........CREDIT
01-1110.....Checking Account............$1000
01-4030.....General Offering..............................$800
01-4200.....Building Fund income.........................$100
01-2300.....Annie Armstrong..............................$100
