Every donor and every fund must be mapped the first time it is used in AdventistGiving. After that, Jewel remembers that mapping.

When you record savings interest in Jewel, you are not moving it, just recording it. As your savings account grows because interest is being added, your local funds have to grow by the same amount, in order to keep things equal. Savings accounts such as from a bank, a CD, or a Revolving Fund need to be reconciled regularly. The steps are the same, e...")

The checking and debit accounts should not be linked, and money is only transferred from checking to debit manually, by the treasurer, when needed.

Unfortunately, the treasurer had failed to label the donations correctly, and after the construction was finished, the board learned that they had just spent their Mission Group's Building Fund! When this church had to take out a loan and make payments, it made the board very unhappy and put them in accusation and finger-pointing mode...")

The following examples illustrate misconceptions that we encounter on a regular basis.

Writing checks: Have you ever noticed that, when you write a check in Jewel, you have to enter the amount of the check twice? This check gives Walmart $376.41, decreasing the balance of this checking account by $376.41.
