Contributions duplicate

Background: The church secretary enters contributions based on the offering envelopes. The trustees have an "accounting sheet" which also reflects total offering, rentals, ministries etc. not on secretary's list.
Set-up: To incorporate the trustees info, I made an envelope user called "accounting sheet" with the needed categories.
Problem: Since the secretary's totals don't match the trustees' totals, when I post contributions to the "contributions module only" I am getting inaccurate totals for any specific Sunday. I am afraid to post to fund accounting until this is cleared up. The secretary does not have totals for those who give without an envelope but the trustees do. Is there a way around this?

I assume the trustee's "accounting sheet" total agrees with what was actually deposited in the bank for that Sunday. If you want to post to Fund Accounting, you will need to account for any difference between the total on the accounting sheet vs. the totals of what's on the offering envelopes. I set up an envelope number called "Loose Offering" just for this purpose.

this helped me. i actually set up an envelope called "accounting sheet",only the totals from this envelope get posted to fund accounting while the others get posted to contributions. thanks.
