Move money between accounts

A transfer moves money between two cash or bank accounts of the company. A transfer does not change the profit. For example:

• You deposit cash in the bank.
• You take cash from the bank.
• An agent gives the cash of the day to the main register.

Make a transfer

You must have the Create transfers permission.

1. On the Transfers page, select New transfer.
2. Type the Date.
3. Select the From account (the account that gives the money).
4. Select the To account (the account that receives the money).
5. Type the Amount.
6. Select the Instrument when necessary, for example a cheque.
7. Select Save draft. Or, select Post to save and post.

The transfer gets its number (for example TR-2627-000001) when you post it.

Caution: The two accounts must be different.

Correct a posted transfer

To change a posted transfer in its own month, use Correct. Refer to Correct a posted document.

The cash of an agent

At the end of the day, the agent gives the cash to the cashier or the accountant. Record a transfer from the register of the agent to the main register. Refer to Cash registers.

Find a transfer

The page has two tabs: Drafts and Posted. Use the search box to find a document by the number, the name or the description. The search finds a number that starts with the text. It also finds a name or a description that contains the text. To search a name or a description, type at least 2 letters or digits. When the list has more than 1000 transfers, the page shows "of more than 1000".
