Bank Transfer

The Bank Transfer form is used to record the transfer of funds between an organization’s Bank Accounts. Restaurant365 does not initiate the transfer of funds with the bank itself. Transfers must be performed outside the system and then recorded in Restaurant365 using this form.

Create a Bank Transfer

Hover over the ‘Banking’ menu in the Top Ribbon and select ‘Transfer’.  The Bank Transfer form will load in a new tab.

Intercompany Entries on Bank Transfers

When two Bank Accounts are selected that are owned by different Legal Entities, Restaurant365 automatically creates a corresponding ‘Intercompany Due To’ and ‘Intercompany Due From’ entry on the transaction.  Once the Bank Transfer is Saved and Approved, the ‘Distribution’ tab will appear with the corresponding Intercompany Entries (if necessary).

Non-intercompany Bank Transfer:

Debit: Transfer To (cash account)

Credit: Transfer From (cash account)

Intercompany Bank Transfer:

Location 1 (Legal Entity 1) is transferring funds to Location 2 (Legal Entity 2)

Debit: Transfer To (cash account held by Legal Entity 2)

Credit: Transfer From (cash account held by Legal Entity 1)

Debit: Due From Legal Entity ‘B’ (asset in Legal Entity 1)

Credit: Due To Legal Entity ‘A’ (liability in Legal Entity 2)

The Intercompany Bank Transfer leverages the pre-set account relationships between the Legal Entities.
