Add a Bank Transfer to the Bank Account Register

After you have created a GL journal entry to transfer money from one bank account to another, you'll then need to add the transfer transaction to the appropriate bank accounts so you can reconcile them.  

You'll use the Add Adjustment or Transfer feature in the Bank Account Register window to import the GL journal entry into the bank accounts.

  1. Select Bank Account Register from the Banking menu, and the window opens.

  2. Select the Bank with the account that made or received the transfer from the pull-down list.

  3. Select the Account Number from the pull-down list. The window will display the transactions for the selected bank account.

  4. Click the Add Adjustment Or Transfer button, and the Bank Account Adjustment or Transfer window opens.

  5. Make sure the Existing radio button is selected, and choose the GL entry that recorded the transfer from the Transactions pull-down list. The transaction date and line items will be displayed in the window.
    Note: This list includes all posted general ledger transactions that are related to the selected bank account via the fund and controlling element (e.g. Object) codes for the transaction.

  6. Once you've determined that this transaction is the one you want to import, click the Save button. Bank account register transactions are created in the appropriate bank accounts, and you'll be able to include them in the bank reconciliations.
