Clearing Food Purchases:

• Meals/Food GL Accounts
  • (NOTE: these are frequently cleared incorrectly)
  • “Entertainment – Meals”
    • For a full meal – must list attendees.
    • If meal is for a group over 15 people, just list one attendee and put group name in last name box.
      • This group can be saved for future clearings.
  • “Entertainment – Meetings”
    • Less than a full meal (like snacks or coffee).
  • “Supplies – Food Supplies”
    • Only for supplies you keep on hand (i.e. cups, napkins, bottled water, etc), not for groceries or food for an event or meeting.
  • "Travel-Meals/Per Diem"
    • For meals purchased for yourself (and your spouse, if there) during an OVERNIGHT ministry trip.
  • Use this Ministrycard Food Flow-chart to help guide you in choosing the correct GL Account
