Interbank Transfer

The Interbank Transfer form allows you to easily record the electronic (internet/telephone) movement of funds from one agency bank account to another.

In order to use this program, you must be moving funds between banks in the same business unit division. At this time, moving funds between divisions is available in the system only as part of the vendor payables process. Any other interdivision transfer requires writing a check out of the "from" division bank and depositing it to the "to" division bank. For more information, see the Using Vendor Payables Interdivision Transfer section of the Workflow: Pay Vendor Invoices topic.

    ClosedAccessing Interbank Transfer

You can access Interbank Transfer from the Bank Center by clicking the Action menu and selecting Interbank Transfer. This takes you to the Interbank Transfer form where you can complete your task.

Groups/Fields

What is this?

Business Unit/Division

This is the division assigned to the current bank selected in the Bank Center. This cannot be changed.

Transfer From

The current bank selected in the Bank Center defaults here, but can be changed.

Only banks belonging to the current bank's division appear in the drop-down list.

Transfer To

Select the appropriate bank from the drop-down list to transfer the money to.

You cannot cross divisions (business units) in an interbank transfer. Therefore, only banks belonging to the current bank's division appear in the drop-down list.

Journal Entry #2

Posts a Debit to the To bank, and a Credit to the Interbank Transfer (#11150) account.
