Power Church is based on cash accounting, not accrual accounting. You can google the two terms to see what the difference is.

The idea of keeping track of “receivables” comes with accrual accounting.

There is a module in PowerChurch called “Accounts Receivable”. This differs very little from the Contributions module, except in terminology. It has “customers” instead of envelope numbers, etc. The “billed” money in the Accounts Receivable module is recorded in the Fund Accounting module until the money is actually received by the church or organization.

There is no Fund Accounting record of how much money is due the church in Accounts Receivable, any more than the Fund Accounting module is aware of how many pledges are outstanding in Contributions.
