Incorrect posting

[Dottie Owens]

A contribution was applied to the wrong fund. It was supposed to be applied to a pledge to our building fund and it was applied to our general budget. It has already been posted. What is the best way to correct this?

Two things should be done.

1. If you want the adjust the contributions for the donor in question, since they've already been posted to funds accounting (I'm assuming that here), you'll need to access the Manual Contributions Entry module. First, make sure that all other contributions have been posted prior to doing this step, then create an entry for the envelope using the incorrect fund, with a NEGATIVE amount for the date of the contribution. Then you'll create a entry with a positive amount for that date and the correct fund. Now you will post these contributions,The system will zero out the incorrect contribution and it will not appear on the contributions statement.

2. Post to the funds accounting module, but make sure you choose the correct month to post to. This will create the proper transactions in Funds Accounting to correct those balances.

This procedure can also be found in the PCPlus Manual under Correcting Posted Contributions.

Hope this helps.
