1. Under "Maintaining list of contributions"...I made a 'new' item. (01-....-....)
2. I also made a line for 'taking 10%' off that contribution. (30-....-....) However, I did NOT put the 30, I put 01).
3. I made the correction in contributions, but it wouldn't correct in F/A. How do I make this correction in F/A?
I need a bit more of an explanation of what you did. However, I'm going to assume the following:
1. You created a new Contribution Fund. However, the number you have listed there is a Funds Accounting number, so I'm going to assume that you setup the Fund to reflect the income in that 01-xxxx account.
2. You also wanted 10% of that income to go to Fund Account 30-xxxA, however, you entered 01-xxxA by accident, and didn't realize this until after the first contribution posting was made.
3. You then corrected the Contribution Fund properties.
If this is what happened, then yes, changing the Contribution Fund properties
will not fix anything in Fund Accounting. There really is NO direct relationship to the Funds Accounting module. All ancillary modules (Payroll, Contributions, Accounts Payable & Account Receivable) all create transactions, which are then read and posted by the Funds Accounting Module. While the Payroll/AP/AR modules are under accounting, and their databases have more of a relationship, Contributions is completely separate and does not have any connection to the Accounting database except to read the account numbers when setting up Contribution Funds.
Since I'm going to assume that the Contribution Deposit Transaction has already been posted to Funds Accounting, this is what you need to do.
1. Find that Posted Transaction and reverse it.
2. Manually enter the transaction exactly like the original using the same amounts for all listed accounts, except for the one where you had 01-xxxA entry in error. Enter that line with the correct 30-xxxA Fund Account number.
3. Post the reversal and the new transaction, this should correct the problem.
As usual, I advise doing a complete backup of the database using the Powerchurch backup utility to have a good copy in case you need to restore the database.
