Not posted to permanent records yet

[CCSBA]

I Have Powerchurch 9+. I posted some checks from A/P & they are in Fund accounting. The problem is the posted date is correct, but I posted into the wrong posting month(the month before the posted date). If I change this in Fund Accounting before I post to the permanent records will this adversely affect my accounts payables records? Do I need to reverse and reenter all of the checks in order to correct the posting month even if the posting date on each of the checks is correct?

Normally when an error is made you want to make the correction in the originating module so that the originating module and Fund Accounting stay in sync. However, for your situation I do not see much harm in changing the posting month in Fund Accounting from what was used when it posted to Accounts Payable, especially since the date posted will remain the same. You will get a warning message when you attempt to save this change--in this instance just say yes to continue. Doing this will have no significant affect on your Accounts Payable records. The only drawback I can forsee is if you needed to void the check in Accounts Payable for some reason. The system would pick up the original posting month, not the one you changed it to in Fund Accounting.
