Entering a nonprofit donation

Jan 12, 2008 1 Replies

This is a very basic and probably dumb question: when I create and add an income account customer and enter a donation, why does the amount turn into a debit? Do I need to enter the amount elsewhere in my income and expense or balance sheet first?


How are you entering the donation? Is this cash received or an invoice to a customer?

If you are receiving cash using the Sales receipts screen the entry ends up as:

Debit Undeposited Funds or Cash $xxx Credit Donation Income $xxx
