Transfer between Bank Accounts - Missing Debit and Credit

Posted on by 446

Hi,

We tried the following URL and steps to make a bank transfer from bank account to another.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/bank-how-transfer-bank-funds

To post a transfer between bank accounts with the same currency code

  1. Choose the pastedimage1579028147662v1.png icon, enter General Journal, and then choose the related link.
  2. On a journal line, fill in the Posting Date and Document No. fields.
  3. In the Account Type field, select Bank Account.
  4. In the Account No. field, select the bank from which you want to transfer the funds.
  5. In the Amount field, enter the amount to be transferred.
  6. Choose the Show More Columns action to view all available fields.
  7. In the Bal. Account Type field, select Bank Account.
  8. In the Bal. Account No. field, select the bank account to which you want to transfer the funds.
  9. Post the journal.

These steps are mentioned into MS Docs, It means that Account No. (The bank from which you want to transfer the funds) will be a credit account and Bal. Account Type ( the bank account to which you want to transfer the funds) will  be a debit account.

But while following these steps and posting the general journal, we noticed that the  Account No. was debit not credit as mentioned and expected. And therefore, the Bal. Account Type was credit not debit.

Please advise

    RE: Transfer between Bank Accounts - Missing Debit and Credit

    Hi Peter,

    Business Central is funny this way sometimes, and in some transactions.  What you need to pay attention to is the amount field and if you are entering a positive number or negative number.

    For the bank transfers, you can use either or the Cash Receipts Journal or Payment Journal.  Either will work, but you will want to adjust your positive or negative value accordingly.  

    For example if you use the Cash Receipts Journal - Please a negative amount in the amount filed and this will cause a Credit value to be used on the one side of the transaction, and the other side will pick up the Debit to go along with a cash receipt as normal.

    Thanks,

    Aaron

    When working with BC, don't think too much about debit or credit. Just look at the account and amount.

    If you put the amount as positive, your account will be debit and your balance account will be credit.

    If you put the amount as negative, your account will be credit and your balance account will be debit.
