Bank Reconciliation and corrections to posted contributions

[jloughlin]

In PowerChurch 9, I recorded two contributions, both for double the correct amount. I realized this only when I went to reconcile the bank account at monthend. The contributions were already posted.

For each contribution, I created an identical contribution for the opposite amount, and a correct contribution. I posted these. The contribution statements appear to be correct.

I resumed my bank reconciliation. Sadly, the reconcilation screen still lists the two erroneous contributions, and seems to have no awareness of my efforts to correct these.

Is there in error in what I have described or is there something else I need to do to get the reconcilation screen I had postponed to pick up the newly corrected entries?

Thanks.

We've had the same thing happen. What you need to do is to post the corrections in Contributions, but they won't show up on the bank reconciliation screen until the contribution correction is posted in Fund Accounting.

Since you normally don't see that you need to make a correction until after you've posted and closed a month, what we do is to make sure everything on the bank reconciliation report reconciles except for the corrections. We then click "done" instead of postpone and print the reconciliation report. Before filing it, we note that the correction has been posted on XX-XX-XX date. The next month (unless you have more corrections for that month), the report will reconcile completely.

Hope this helps,
