I am doing well on the contributions side, posting them and havings 7 different " funds" It works great!

I am still not able to use the accounting side, document checks etc or have anything transferred from my contributions to my "accounts" Obviously, I still don't get this account thing

I have only one checking account. I do have 7 funds that people contribute to but it all ends on the same pot.

I have let's say 10 other things to pay like a loan, utilities etc.

I have my Assets as 01-1110-000 group level 1
My checking account as 01-1110-101 detail level 4

my income general fund as 01-4001-000 level 2 detail
as expenses one example is 01-5002-000

Is this sort of right? If by any chance this is right (ha, ha, ha...) how do I get the contributions to transfer over?

Like many of you, this program is testing my patience and resolve. Can I e-mail anyone a copy or can anyone send me an example of this. Then I could expand it to the other expenses and the other funds income.

Any help is appreciated! Thank you ahead of time.

Have a wonderful and blessed day!

When you setup your contribtuion funds, you needed to specifc what accounting fund would show the deposit. If this is done correctly, then the contributions secretary (if there is a separate one) must POST the contributions from the contributions module. You have four different options when you post:

  • Update Fund Accounting (which is what you want to do)
    Update Fund Accounting via File (which is used when the contributions computer is not networked with the computer used for accounting)
    Print an Accounting Report (used if you use another accounting system or manual accounting)
    Only Update the Contributions Module (doesn't do anything outside of contributions module)
This is covered in Chapter 5 (page 150) of the PC+ V9.0 manual. If you don't have a copy, I'd order a copy from PowerChurch. Its worth having one handy. We ordered an extra 2 copies: one for our Treasurer, and one for our Financial Secretary.
