Fast offering expense incorrectly recorded as ward budget

[nikkinjeff1]

I'm a new clerk. We found that the RS budget was running low. Come to find out, we have three fast offering expenses that were reimbursed to the RS president throughout the year. These fast offering expenses were recorded as ward RS budget expenses. How do I switch from ward budget expense to the fast offering funds? I'll need a simple instructions if it's available.

In LCR select Finance > Expenses from the menu. Then select the Expenses Summary tab. Find one of the expenses in the list and click on the reference number. It should show the details of the expense. Click the Adjust Expense and change the category to the appropriate Fast Offering category. You will probably also have to add a recipient. Then click Save Changes and do the same for the other expenses.

I expect the Relief Society submitted these expenses through LCR or Member Tools but it doesn't allow her to select Fast Offerings as the category so she choose Relief Society. I would recommend that you tell her to send the receipts to a clerk instead of using LCR or Member Tools when it's a fast offering. Also, always make sure the Bishop is aware of the expense and approves before setting up the expense particularly when it's a fast offering expense.
