The Bank\/Cash Transfer window records the movement of funds between an organization’s own bank and cash accounts, such as depositing cash or moving funds to a collection account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Completing the transfer automatically creates two linked payment records, one outgoing and one incoming, giving a complete audit trail for reconciliation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Process Flow<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Business Rules<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • The From Bank Account and To Bank Account must be different.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The transfer amount must be entered before the document can be completed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Payment Date and Accounting Date are required.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Source and destination account details must be completed before processing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Completing the document finalizes the transfer and marks it as Processed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Completed transfers become read-only.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Two payment records (an AP Payment and an AR Receipt) are automatically created on completion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The Charge selected on each side determines the clearing account used when the payments are posted.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Configuration Steps<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Step 1: Create the Bank\/Cash Transfer<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The header captures when the transfer happens and which organization it belongs to, before any account details are entered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Create a new Bank\/Cash Transfer and enter the Organization, Payment Date, and Accounting Date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Field<\/strong><\/td>Sample Value<\/strong><\/td>Description<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead>
    Organization<\/td>CDC<\/td>Organization performing the transfer<\/td><\/tr>
    Document No<\/td>1000002<\/td>Number assigned to this transfer<\/td><\/tr>
    Payment Date<\/td>07\/09\/2026<\/td>Date the transfer takes place<\/td><\/tr>
    Account Date<\/td>07\/09\/2026<\/td>Financial posting date<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Step 2: Enter the Source Account<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The From Bank Account section identifies exactly which account funds are leaving, along with the amount and payment method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Under From Bank Account, select the source account, business partner, charge, currency, amount, and tender type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Field<\/strong><\/td>Sample Value<\/strong><\/td>Description<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead>
    From Bank Account<\/td>POS Cash Account_POS Cash_100001<\/td>Account funds are transferred out of<\/td><\/tr>
    From Organization<\/td>CDC<\/td>Organization owning the source account<\/td><\/tr>
    From Business Partner<\/td>CHENNAI SUPPLIERS<\/td>Business Partner associated with the source side<\/td><\/tr>
    From Charge<\/td>Bank Transfer Charge<\/td>Charge that determines the clearing account used for posting<\/td><\/tr>
    From Bank Currency<\/td>INR<\/td>Currency of the source account<\/td><\/tr>
    From Amount<\/td>50,000.00<\/td>Amount being transferred out<\/td><\/tr>
    From Tender Type<\/td>Direct Deposit<\/td>Payment method used for the transfer<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Step 3: Enter the Destination Account<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The To Bank Account section identifies where the funds land, mirroring the source details so both sides of the transfer are fully recorded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Under To Bank Account, select the destination account, business partner, charge, currency, amount, and tender type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Field<\/strong><\/td>Sample Value<\/strong><\/td>Description<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead>
    To Bank Account<\/td>POS UPI Collection_POS UPI_100002<\/td>Account receiving the funds<\/td><\/tr>
    To Organization<\/td>CDC<\/td>Organization owning the destination account<\/td><\/tr>
    To Business Partner<\/td>CHENNAI SUPPLIERS<\/td>Business Partner associated with the destination side<\/td><\/tr>
    To Charge<\/td>Bank Transfer Charge<\/td>Charge that determines the clearing account used for posting<\/td><\/tr>
    To Bank Currency<\/td>INR<\/td>Currency of the destination account<\/td><\/tr>
    To Amount<\/td>50,000.00<\/td>Amount received<\/td><\/tr>
    To Tender Type<\/td>Direct Deposit<\/td>Payment method used for the transfer<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Note: <\/strong>From Amount and To Amount should match; a mismatch usually points to a currency or charge configuration issue rather than an intentional difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Step 4: Save the Transfer<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Click Save. The document remains in Drafted status and is available for completion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 5: Complete the Bank\/Cash Transfer<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Completing the document is what actually finalizes the fund movement and generates the accounting-ready payment records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Select Document Action \u2192 Complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Expected Result<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Document Status changes to Completed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The Processed checkbox is selected.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The document becomes read-only.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Two payment records are automatically generated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Step 6: Review the Generated Payments<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      The Payments tab lists both records created by the transfer, so you can confirm the outgoing and incoming sides were generated correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Open the Payments tab on the completed Bank\/Cash Transfer and review both records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Field<\/strong><\/td>Sample Value<\/strong><\/td>Description<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead>
      Payment<\/td>1000002_07\/09\/2026_50000.00_-1<\/td>Generated payment document, outgoing side<\/td><\/tr>
      Document Type<\/td>AP Payment<\/td>Outgoing payment from the source account<\/td><\/tr>
      Document Type<\/td>AR Receipt<\/td>Incoming receipt into the destination account<\/td><\/tr>
      Document No<\/td>1000002<\/td>Shared document number for both generated payments<\/td><\/tr>
      Document Status<\/td>Completed<\/td>Status of each generated payment<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Step 7: Review the Generated Payment Documents (Optional)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Opening each payment individually confirms the bank account, amount, and charge carried through correctly from the transfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Open each payment record from the Payments tab and verify the Bank Account, Payment Amount, Tender Type, and Charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Step 8: Review the Posted Accounting Entries (Optional)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Reviewing the posting confirms the transfer nets to zero through a clearing account rather than posting directly bank-to-bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Open Posting for each generated payment and verify the debit and credit lines against the clearing and charge accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Common Issues and Resolutions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      Issue<\/strong><\/td>Cause<\/strong><\/td>Resolution<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead>
      Source and destination accounts are the same<\/td>Same account selected for both fields<\/td>Select different bank or cash accounts for From and To<\/td><\/tr>

      Next Steps<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Review the generated payment records.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Verify the accounting entries, if financial posting is enabled.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Perform bank or cash reconciliation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Continue with the organization’s regular financial closing activities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
