Recording Income

Receipting Income

All income must be recorded using the Receipt Entry screen. The complete process from recording the income to banking is as follows:

1. Enter all of the receipt income as individual receipt entries (further details at Receipt Entry).

2. Print or email the receipts from the Receipt Search screen (further details at Receipt Search).

3. Navigate to Bank Deposit Entry and select all amounts that you wish to deposit to a bank account (further details at Bank Deposit Entry).

4. Once a Bank Deposit Entry has been entered, do a Bank Deposit Search and view/print the deposit slip so the amount is transferred from the Cash Drawer account to the selected bank account (further details at Bank Deposit Search).

If the church is an Income Summary church, information on recording these entries is at Income Summary.

Note for Local Churches

Income is handled on a weekly basis, starting with the collection of the offerings.

1. Cash collected from offerings is counted and allocated to the appropriate offering accounts for the week

   1. Record the offerings one by one (Sabbath School, church, etc)

2. Envelopes are individually opened, counted, and allocated to the accounts nominated on the envelope

   1. Record the envelopes one by one in Receipt Entry

   2. Record any miscellaneous income amounts (e.g. facilities hire, catering, etc) in a similar manner. These types of income may attract GST.

3. A receipt is then printed or emailed for each offering and envelope

4. A bank deposit slip is prepared

5. Cash/cheques are banked into one or more bank accounts

If you choose not to use the system at all, but continue to send paperwork to the conference, the conference treasury will perform summary recording on behalf of your local church.
