How do I record a transfer between my bank accounts?

ForLandlordsProperty managers

Who can do this

Landlord; Organization users with Create Transactions.

Where to find it

Accounting → ⋮ → Record Transfer.

Steps

  1. Which account is the money leaving?: pick the Source account.
  2. Which account is it going to?: pick the Destination account (the source is never offered).
  3. How much are you moving?: Amount.
  4. Why are you moving it?: Reason, Transfer type (General transfer or Fee sweep (trust to operating)) and an optional Memo.
  5. Click Record transfer.

What happens next

"Transfer recorded". Kera posts both sides through 1090 Transfers in Transit, so total cash doesn't change. The transfer appears in Transfer history.

Troubleshooting

  • "No linked bank accounts · Link a bank account to record internal transfers.": add bank accounts first.
  • "Link another bank account to move money between them.": you only have one account.
  • "Enter a reason" / "Enter the amount" / "The amount must be greater than 0".
  • "Transfer recorded in a closed period": it saved, but it's dated in a closed period. Reopen the period if it needs to change.

Limits

A transfer only records the movement in your books. Kera doesn't move money between banks.
