Re: Version 15 - 11/24/2025 Maintenance Release

I also mentioned "For PowerChurch Online users that have already been upgraded to Version 15, no further action needs to be taken. Others will be gradually upgraded over the next couple of weeks." If you would like your PowerChurch Online account to be upgraded now (or at a specific time that is bes...

Re: contribution funds posted to assets instead of income

An Account Activity report in Fund Accounting for the Balance Sheet account in question will show you each individual transaction that debited or credited that account.

Re: Minimum hardware requirements

The minimum requirements for a server are really just to be able to host an accessible file share. Unless the server itself is going to be used as a workstation for PowerChurch, in which case Windows Vista (~2006 era hardware) is still compatible, so a new OS shouldn't be an issue. What is published...

Re: Restricted Fund Not Updating

In addition to the Account Activity, run a Detail Changes in Equity report for that specific equity account. That report is essentially an Account Activity that shows the accounts/transactions that "closed to" (affected) the equity balance.

Re: Number of parishioners with no date of birth on record

If you don't have "Is missing date" on that second step, then it sounds like you don't have a date field selected in the first step

You will see the field name listed in the title bar ("Birth Date is missing a date" in the image above)

On the window that opens, uncheck "Do not apply this contribution to a pledge" and choose the pledge that you want to apply it to. ...

Re: IDS Client "Failure to connect

Everything is up and running without issue on our end, so my guess would be an antivirus/firewall or something else in an internet security suite blocking that specific port number (491)

Re: Clearing Typos in City List

When you reindex the database, the list will be rebuilt from those that are assigned. You can reindex by going to Utilities > Reindex. If after reindexing, you still see the typo cities in the dropdown list, that means someone still has that typo city assigned. The list is shared between all city fi...

Re: Open (unposted) items report

Older versions of the software had a single date field on that report labeled "Items through date", meaning you only had an ending date selection. To make the report more useful, while not changing the default behavior, Version 11.5 (2011) changed that selection to a date range, from the beginning o...

Re: reduce year start balance on my chequing account

The process to reduce the balance would be the same, except the debits and credits would be reversed.

Credit the checking account and Debit the equity/fund balance/net assets.

Re: CD Interest

Since you haven't been accruing the interest, I believe the transaction would be much simpler - something like the following: 01-1320-000 Bank Asset (Debit) $251,856.16 01-1376-000 CD Asset (Credit) $245,000.00 01-4460-000 Investment Income (Credit) $6,856.16 Also - disclaimer - I'm not an accountan...

Re: Non Cash/In Kind Donations

There is not a plan to update that functionality currently. With donated items not being recorded as income or deposited in the bank, and the IRS not wanting you to include them on the person's Contribution Statement with a dollar amount assigned, there really isn't anything to record on the Contrib...
