Change posting month

[Beccal4]

I apologize if this topic has already been address, but I was unable to find anything dealing with my particular question.

Occasionally, I post checks in the wrong month and have to go back to correct the posting month. It seems cumbersome and ridiculous to have to void and repost a check simply because it was posted in the wrong month. Is there a way to correct the posting month after a check has been posted both in AP & FA?

What version of Powerchurch are you using ?? In version 11.x I believe the default is to post a check based on the date of the original transaction entry. If you're using Version 11.x, did someone change that default ?

But to your question; no, there is no other way to correct dates once they've been posted in Funds Accounting. If you can get to the transaction before it was posted in FA, you can post it correctly in FA, which is really the only area that is concerned with the correct posting date.

I use PowerChurch Online, so it would be the most current version.

I use accrual basis accounting, not cash basis. So I don't post checks necessarily in the month the check is written but when the expense was incurred. Example: Hardware statement is mailed to us first of the month (Augsut 1) due EOM (Aug 31) with the last month's (July) charges. I print the check in August but the expenses were from July, so the expense gets posted in July not August. So the default of having the checks posted on the date printed doesn't always work for me.

Thanks for your help though. It is disappointing but exactly what I thought.

Considering that Powerchurch is setup for a cash basis, which is how most churches do their books, this is why its done this way.
