Working Month Error

[pcu55303]

I posted 2 sundays of contributions in February to the Working month of march, when I run an income and expense for March, it is including those 2 batches of contributions in the statement. Is there a way, once everything was posted, to go back and change the working month something was posted in in order to accurately reflect the income for that month?

Ugghhh

I'm assuming that by 'post' you mean in Funds Accounting since you're talking about a working month, which makes no sense in Contributions

That said, you will probably to reverse the deposit transactions in Funds Accounting, then reenter the original transactions and post to the correct month.

would that mean entering each individual contribution again?

Unless I completely misunderstood your description of the issue, no.

The contribution entry has nothing to do with that posting in Funds Accounting. You do everything in Funds Accounting. Look in View Posted Transactions to find the incorrectly posted deposit transactions, then reverse them.

However, keep the original transaction details open, while you enter a new transaction, using the data from the original one. Just make sure you have the correct month selected for the posting months.

Ok so let me be sure that I understand
Contributions themselves do not mean anything to the FUND ACCOUNTING except to transfer in a total. I can reverse simply the total in the Funds Accounting module, enter a new transaction with the original total in the appropriate DR & CR and post that to the correct month and then POST?

The contributions module would simply show me the contributors and their totals it would not wipe out anything by reversing the FUND ACCOUNTING module?

That is correct. Reversing these entries in FA will not affect Contributions. All of the individual contributions will STILL be in Contributions.

As a matter of fact, you will get a message warning you that it will not 'fix' the Contribution module when reversing. But in this case, that isn't a problem since posting month doesn't matter in Contributions.

Working in Fund Accounting only affects Fund Accounting. And as you observed, only the total is showing in FA, never the individual contributions.

Ok, another question, 2 checks were also posted to the wrong month, do I just go to FUND ACCOUNTING/View Transactions and then reverse the check there and then go to ENTER TRANSACTION, re-enter it and post it to the correct month?

By jove, I think she's got it


Disclaimer: again, if the checks were written out of Accounts Payable (or Payroll), this won't fix any data issues there.

I do thinks I got it...and I am a He (which is maybe why i'm a little slow )
