Hi All,

I'm a newbie here, so I apologize if this has been answered before. Today and last Sunday I entered our contributions, then posted them to fund accounting. However, when I run the income/expense report by month, nothing shows up for July. When I try to post contributions again, it says no unposted contributions.

Oddly, from the fund accounting report, when I run "unposted transactions" there they are! Am I missing a step somewhere. I know I posted to fund accounting not just the contributions module. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. Rick

Did you also post them in Fund Accounting??

Thanks, Tom. Yes, I did post to fund accounting. Working month is set to July.

Last time this happened, the former bookkeeper said that the only way to fix things was to re-enter all the contributions as negative numbers - then re-enter as postive numbers and post to fund accounting again. (that's because the first mistake I made in June was to post to contributions module only). This month I posted to all funds accounting. I also re-indexed all the files, but that didn't make any difference.

Being church treasurer is hard enough - the software shouldn't make it harder.

Posting from contributions to fund accounting does not post in fund accounting. You need to also go to fund accounting and post transactions there. Did you do that?

Thanks again, Tom. I'll give that a shot next time I'm in the church office this week. Will let y'all know what happens, but it sounds promising. Best,

Rick

Hi again,

Well, we got the contributions thing worked out. Now the problem is with expenses. Our Parish Adminstrator enters transactions when he cuts checks for expenses. He says that he posts the transactions to fund accounting.

However, when I run the income statement, none of the expenses are showing up in the line items. Are we missing a step somewhere?

Thanks,

Rick

Again, you need to go to Fund Accounting and post the transaction there as well. Posting to Fund Accounting does not post in Fund Accounting.
