Income Summary entries
If the conference is processing the accounts on behalf of a local church, they use the Income Summary screen. This is a quick way of recording the income, but does not include the details of the givers and allow receipts to be created. Where the local church is processing their own accounts, the Receipt Entry screen is to be used. This type of entry is known as an "Income Detail" entry.
Setup
To enable Income Summary entries to be processed, the "Enable Income Summary entries" checkbox must be ticked in the Organisation settings of the church (under Admin | Organisations). If this is not done, the Income Summary screen will be read-only.
"Income Detail" churches
If accessing the Income Summary screen in a church that processes Receipt entries (i.e. an "Income Detail" church) the Income Summary screen will show a summarised view of all offerings for the period. Only the Print button will be active, and a different report layout is used.
