Hi experts,

What would you say it's the best way to move balances between bank accounts of different legal entities without:

* Invoice or any other financial document

* Not allowing multiple subledger transactions per voucher

* Not using centralized payments

Basically, we transfer money between bank accounts that belong to the same group but sit in different legal entities. From a bank perspective is a bank transfer but system wise I can't find an effective and clean way to reflect that. Any ideas will be welcomed.

Hi,

I think it's only way to create bank as credit in one LE and debit in One LE.

When I've encountered this requirement, I typically suggest the creation of a 'suspense' account in the legal entity accepting the incoming bank transfer. So, if I'm in the legal entity USMF and I want to transfer funds to USSI, I would make the following journal entries:

In USMF:

DR Suspense main account (remember to use Intercompany to USSI)

CR BANK Account

then, in USSI:

DR BANK Account

CR Suspense (not intercompany)

It's not ideal, but the only way I've found to do this.

You must have an intercompany relationship between the two companies but you can do a bank->bank transfer as below.
