Bank Deposit report for combination of Contr. and funds

[jeffkoke]

<snip> If I have different funds that people donate to that are DIFFERENT bank accounts, it still only prints out ONE deposit slip with all the checks for every different fund.

<snip> Am I wrong to think that you should be able to sort on a fund number, date, etc. to generate the bank deposit report rather than just EVERY UNPOSTED contribution? This seems like a no brainer to me. How are others handling this? If there's no answer, I'll be providing it in the form of a wish list.

Ok, I see multiple variables here.

- Are your givers writing one check that is split between funds that have separate checking accounts? If that is the case, I can offer a possible solution. My recommendation would be to reset all of your contribution funds to your general checking account. Enter the contributions and do the deposit as per normal. Then, I'd write a check to transfer the sum of each contribution to the specific checking/savings account.

- If your givers are giving using separate checks that align with the separate funds, then I'd do the contributions entry on separate dates; i.e. one on a Sunday date and one on a Monday date. This way you should be able to generate separate deposit reports.

PowerChurch isn't really designed to do what you are asking...at least to my knowledge.

Does any of this make sense?

jeff, I understand what you are saying about different dates, but I guess I still don't understand why PC can't sort on FUND #'s.

Neil, do you guys have ALL your church's money in ONE account? Our designated money for missions, trips, Special offerings has ALWAYS been in a separate bank account to keep it separate from the normal operating expense dollars. We bank with a member's bank, so I guess it doesn't cost us any more to have multiple accounts at the bank. I still can't see why we would either have all our church's money in ONE physical bank account OR why PC can't create a deposit slip for separate funds if ANY church chooses to have different funds in separate bank accounts. We also have a separate bank account for capital fund for a new building that we like to have separate from our OE dollars account. We have contributors that regularly make donations to this account and it is almost always done with SEPARATE checks.

Again, I just don't see what's so hard about PC sorting a deposit slip report on Fund number without ME having to "monkey" with the system like making the deposit using a different date. I just tried to enter "dummy" contributions on different dates and it WILL let you create a deposit slip report keying on dates, so I guess I will have to use that to keep my separate accounts on separate deposit slips.
