Batch Contributions Released

September 18th 2013

We are pleased to announce the release of batch contribution functionality. You can now manage batches of contributions in Church Membership Online. Batches promote strong accounting practices when dealing with donations and also make it easier to find entry mistakes.

What Are Contribution Batches?

A batch is a group of contributions. You can enter a total amount for the batch and then match the accumulated total of all of the contributions in the batch with the batch total. This enables you to determine the total amount for a batch of contributions using a calculator and then match the total of the contributions entered into your church management software to the batch total to make sure the data entry is accurate.

 

Benefits

  • Promotes solid accounting practices
  • Differentiate same day collections
