The Bank Transfer window is used to record the transfer of funds between an organization’s cash accounts. The system does not initiate the transfer of funds with the bank itself. This would be done outside the system and then recorded in Retaurant365 using this window.To begin click on ‘Banking’ in the top ribbon, then select ‘Transfer’

 

A new window will open.

The first field in the window is the number assigned by the system to this transfer. It is auto-generated and you should not need to change.

After selecting the ‘Transfer From’ cash account and the ‘Transfer To’ cash account, enter the amount of the transfer and the date the funds were transferred. Add additional comments that will remind you of the purpose of the transfer in the comments field.

Once you have entered all the information for this transfer, The nest step is to Approve the transaction or Save the transaction to be approved later.

The last topic we will cover in this training is transferring money between legal entities. When two cash accounts are selected that are held by different legal entities, Restaurant365 automatically creates a corresponding ‘Intercompany Due To’ and ‘Intercompany Due From’ entry on the transaction behind the scenes.

Here is an example of a non-intercompany bank transfer:

Debit: Transfer To (cash account)

Credit: Transfer From (cash account)

Here is an example of an intercompany bank transfer where legal entity ‘A’ is transferring funds to legal entity ‘B’:

Debit: Transfer To (cash account held by Legal Entity ‘B’)

Credit: Transfer From (cash account held by Legal Entity ‘A’)

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

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

The intercompany bank transfer leverages the pre-set account relationships between the legal entities.

Once again, Restaurant365 handles all the intercompany entries for you – no need to book them separately. Recording a bank transfer is easy.
