14:07, 11 November 2025 Myla talk contribs created page Year End Processes (Created page with "There are two year ends you will encounter - the Fiscal and the Calendar. Most likely these will coincide at the end of December of each year. However, some churches end their fiscal year at some other time during the year - usually June 30. For the fiscal year end, you will need to do year-end budget tasks (if your church has made a budget), zero out funds as necessary, print year- and month-end reports, and back up data. For the calendar year end, you will follow the u...")
13:58, 11 November 2025 Myla talk contribs created page Entering Common Transactions (Created page with "== Entering Common Transactions == === Checks and Other Payments === In Jewel, all payments are made in the Write Checks screen, whether you print a physical check with Jewel, hand-write a paper check, use a debit/credit card, or send an electronic payment. Checking the Electronic Payment box removes the Check Number field, so use that for anything that is not a paper check. Otherwise, fill out the check as usual. Note that the total check amount must equal the Running...")
13:42, 11 November 2025 Myla talk contribs created page Month End Processes (Created page with "You have the NextStep button to guide you through the month-end processes. You don't need to remember what to do next! There are two ways to begin the month end process. The easiest and most common is that after you have clicked "Make Deposit" for the last Sabbath of the month, Jewel will ask if you have entered all offerings for the month. Double-check the list of offerings shown, making sure to include AdventistGiving if appropriate. If all deposits have been entered...")
13:36, 11 November 2025 Myla talk contribs created page Receiving and Handling Offerings (Created page with "== Receiving and Handling Offerings == === Counting the Offering === Before you can enter an offering in Jewel, the offering must be counted.

Dual Counting--having two people present whenever an offering is being co...")
16:15, 7 November 2025 Myla talk contribs created page Cleaning Up the Bank Rec (Created page with "If you have deposits, adjustments, or electronic payments over one month old, or checks over six months old, sitting "uncleared" on your bank reconciliation report, it is time to clean up your bank rec. Here's how to deal with the different types of transactions to get them out of there. ==Outstanding Checks== An “outstanding” or “uncleared” check is a check that the "vendor" or "payee" has never deposited or cashed. That means that it has never shown up on the...")

01:14, 7 November 2025 Myla talk contribs created page Edit Accounts (Created page with "The Accounts list includes Bank Accounts, Liabilities (not used by most), Local Funds, and Conference Funds. It is your responsibility as Treasurer to add new accounts when warranted. But this decision takes careful thought, as too many detailed accounts become cumbersome, while too few accounts many not give enough breakdown of the church's spending. This page allows you to add to, edit, and organize your account list so that it provides the best financial information...")
