Editing or Deleting a Contribution Deposit

Sometimes we make mistakes… Sometimes we get information too late!

Let’s walk through a couple of scenarios that are (very) likely to happen in your church.

The weekly deposit came in, it was counted, Contributions were added to Empower, a Deposit was made in Empower… and then just before you head out to make a bank deposit, a church member calls to ask if you can hold the check until next week.  

“Of course”, you say.  No problem at all.  

In this example, the Contribution and Deposit have already been entered into Empower.  However, if you’re not actually depositing the check with this batch, we need to correct those entries.  

If the Contribution will eventually be deposited, we only need to change the Deposit.  To do that, we will need to delete the Deposit and create a new Deposit that matches.  The Contribution on hold will remain in Empower but be listed as Undeposited until we include it in a Deposit.
