Note that you can only do this where the transfer is recorded in both bank accounts on the same day.

To match a transfer between bank accounts 
Expando

  1. In the Bank transactions list, locate either half of the bank transfer transaction (that is, either the withdrawal or deposit transaction).
  2. From the Allocate me dropdown next to the transaction, select Transfer btw accounts. A window appears, displaying any transactions on your other bank accounts that might be the other half of this transaction.
  3. If matching transactions are found:
    • If there is only one matching transaction, and it is the correct match for the transfer, click Save.
    • If more than one matching transaction has been found in your other bank accounts, select the correct match and click Save.
    • If none of the displayed transactions match the transfer, click Cancel.
  4. You can manually create the transfer transaction (see Record a transfer between accounts) and match it (see Matching bank transactions), or you can import the transaction from the other bank account and try again.
  5. If no matching transactions are found:
    1. Click the manually create the transfer link. The Transfer between accounts window appears.
    2. Enter the details of the transfer and click Save. See Record a transfer between accounts.
      The Bank transactions page appears.
    3. Depending on the date you entered on the transfer transaction, the transfer will have been automatically matched, or a match will now be available. To match it manually, see Matching bank transactions.

the two halves of the transfer together (the withdrawal transaction from one account and the deposit transaction into another).

If the transactions were recorded by your bank within a day of each other, MYOB Essentials will usually be able to identify the matching transfer transaction. Otherwise, you can manually create a transfer transaction and match both transactions to that.

  2. Select the correct transfer in the list and click Save.
    Otherwise, if you only have bank feeds on one of the accounts, or if MYOB Essentials couldn't find a matching transaction, you can manually record the transfer by clicking the Manually create transfer link.Transfer between accounts window with manually create transfer highlightedImage Added
