Transfers

Open Transfers

Overview

A transfer records money moving between two of the client’s own accounts — chequing to savings, a deposit that pays down a credit card, or moving cash to the bank. Because the money never leaves the business, a transfer is not income or expense: it simply moves a balance from one account to another with a balanced journal entry.

Posting a transfer credits the source (From) account and debits the destination (To) account for the same amount. Transfers can be staged as Pending and posted later (individually or in bulk), and a posted transfer can be voided, which writes a reversing entry.

Transfer vs Deposit

A transfer moves money between two of the client’s own accounts. A deposit moves received customer funds out of Undeposited Funds into the bank. Use a transfer for own-account movements; use a deposit to clear Undeposited Funds.
