6.    STEWARDSHIP PROCESSING
      ======================

      The next chapters describe pledges and contribution processing, the
      managing of Church funds, statement processing, and related functions.

      Note: To access any of these features you need to enter the correct
      password.  For details on setting or changing the password, see chapter
      7.8 "Password Setting and Maintenance".


      To begin with "Stewardship Processing":

      A. Press <Esc> until you get to the "Main Menu".

      B. Press <S> and then <Enter> to go to the "Password" window.

      C. Type in your password ( up to 9 characters long), and press <Enter>.

         Note: The first time you use CMS the password has been set to:
         PASSWORD For details on setting or changing the password, see chapter
         7.8 "Password Setting and Maintenance".

         If you typed an invalid password, CMS will tell you so.  Press any key
         to return to the "Main menu", and try again.

         If you typed the correct password the "Stewardship" menu will appear.
         These are the features you can select from the "Stewardship Menu":

         - New Contributions.  Here you enter and work with new contributions,
           post contributions, generate statements, and print reports.  See
           chapter 6.1 "Contribution Processing" for details.

         - Old Contributions.  Here you can modify member contributions, that
           have been posted and can therefore no longer be changed in "New
           Contributions".  See chapter 6.2 "Contribution Processing" for
           details.

         - Pledge Processing. Here you work with and maintain member's pledge
           records, and generate reports.  See chapter 6.3 "Pledge Processing"
           for details.

         - Close Pledges. Here you can close pledge records that have become
           "past due", or you can change the date when they should become "past
           due".  See chapter 6.4 "Close Pledges" for details.

         - Clear Pledges. Here you remove all the closed pledges from the
           pledges list. See chapter 6.5 "Clear Pledges" for details.


         - Statements Menu. Here you can generate various contribution
           statements for all your members. See chapter 6.6 "Statements Menu"
           for details.

         - Year Menu. Here you maintain the "Giving Year" information. See
           chapter 6.7 "Giving Year Maintenance" for details.

         - Scripture Message. Here you can modify the Scripture message that is
           to appear on all the statements you send out.  See chapter 6.8
           "Scripture Messages on Your Church Statements" for details.

         - Funds Table.  Here you set up and maintain your Church's fund names
           and assign your fund codes.  See chapter 6.9 "Church Funds Table"
           for details.
