I was having problems with reversing transactions so I deleted all information and put it back the balances back to zero so I could restart. Can anyone tell me how to enter the beginning balances for my designated funds and outstanding checks from the previous year since I am entering from the beginning of 2012.

Thanks,
Jaime

The only time you get to add outstanding checks that were written "before PowerChurch" is to reinstall PowerChurch and go through the installation wizard. At least, I'm pretty certain there isn't any other way.

To enter a beginning checking balance of $10,000:
DB 01-1110-000 checking $10,000
CR 01-3110-000 unrestricted net assets $10,000

To enter a beginning liability of $3,000
CR 01-2110-000 liability $3,000
DB 01-3110-000 unrestricted net assets $3,000

Well, you don't have to reinstall Powerchurch to be able to restart Accounting, you just need to click on the Restart Accounting button under the File -> Preferences - Accounting ..
