Yearly Contribution Statements

[hemitommy]

I am using Windows 7 software and Power church Plus version 11.5 on my computer. When I create the annual contribution statements, there are a few I do not want to print or email ( internal church donations). Is there a way I can tag these statements so that I can by bypass them during my statement run? Thanks for any info you can give me.

One way would be to give them an envelope number outside the numbers you would normally run. Then when you do your run you can restrict the numbers that you print.

Tom's right. Powerchurch itself recommends that you setup your 'Loose Plate Offerings' with a envelope number. I also believe they advise to use a number outside of the normal numbering scheme.

For instance:

your church uses envelope numbers 1 through 200 for members or active non-members who give regularly. You should then setup a range of numbers for non-members who may show up a few times then stop, and one for archiving envelopes for those donors who no longer give for one reason or another (death, move, no longer attend, etc).

We use:

1 - 100 for members/active non-members
200 - 900 for visitors, etc
2000+ for archives

Our internal church numbers are in the 900 range.
