We made a couple of changes to the contribution entry window:
Speed Contributions Entry:
The contribution entry screen has been slightly rearranged and modified to allow for fast keyboard access. The “currency type” option was moved up, and you can now use the “Enter” key to move between fields on the entry screen.
Allow EFT and Non-Cash Gifts in Contributions:

Posting journals and other contribution reports were modified accordingly. Non-Cash allows you to record gifts in kind with a zero amount as per IRS guidelines. Additional reports were added to give the church a record of all non-cash donations by date range.

Thank you for your help.

Thank you for the feedback, Brenda! We do plan on creating more tutorial videos in the near future.
If you are using the accounting side of IconCMO you will need to post checks written to the system so your bank account balance is accurate. Otherwise, if you are just using the system for Membership and Contributions it isn’t necessary.
