We have an income account named 'Misc. Income' to capture income on things we don't anticipate. In April, we had received a large amount that I put to 'Misc. Income'. When I setup the budget, I had the budget for 'Misc. Income' set to zero. I expected the amount to show up as Non-Budgeted in the Income and Expense Statement but it didn't. It showed up under the 'Budgeted' category. I went to the 'Misc. Income' account and it was setup as 'Budget directly on this account' with a budget of zero. I change the account to 'No budget for this account' but I got a pop-up saying all previous year budgets would be removed. I clicked OK but why doesn't PowerChurch allow me to change that from year to year? In some years, I may want to budget a dollar amount but other years I may not.

This problem has bit us several times. Is anyone from PowerChurch going to answer it?

Obviously, this is not something that is a problem for most of the users of the program. You could create two accounts, Misc Income - Budgeted, and Misc Income - NonBudgeted.

I think a better solution would be for Power Church to change the program so that if the company puts zero dollars for the budget for the year that they show any income or expense (depending on the account type) as Non-Budgeted.

If you think that, you should create a request and send it to Wishlist@powerchurch.com.

Include the requirement, the reasoning, how it will save you time and effort, and how it will assist other Powerchurch users.
