I am not sure if this should go under Fund Accounting, or here.
Sometimes it happens that when we receive a Contribution (Tithes or Offering) check, and the bank returns it to us because of insufficient funds in the Givers Checking Account.
How should I enter them, or reverse entries?
THe credit in the contribution module should be reversed, and then also an entry should be done under Accounting.
How is this done?
Thank you

Usually, we attempt to run the check the next week.

Failing that, we do a negative contribution entry. This backs the dollar amount(s) out of the fund(s) that were originally posted to and shows as a negative entry on the contributor's statement.

Make sense?

If you void a contribution through the method described above it will take care of the contributions side as well as fund accounting if you post it in the same way.

if the negative contribution matches a positive one (same date, same fund, same env#, same check # if applicable) then it will not show on the contributors statement. that is generally what people want anyway.
