Thanks for reaching out, @leann-micrentals

 

How's your day going so far? I hope all is well. 

 

You can create a Journal Entry to transfer the funds to the correct account. I suggest consulting with your accountant before you begin this process. Your accounting professional can advise the best way to handle this based on your business needs. 

 

Here's how to create the Journal Entry:

 

  1. Click + New.
  2. Select Journal Entry.
  3. From the first line, select an account from the Account field. Depending on if you need to debit or credit the account, enter the amount in the correct column.
  4. On the next line, select the other account you're moving money to or from. Depending on if you entered a debit or credit on the first line, enter the same amount in the opposite column.
  5. Check the amounts - you should have the same amount in the Credit column on one line and the Debit column on the other. This means the accounts are in balance.
  6. Enter information in the memo section so you will know why you made the journal entry.
  7. Select Save and new or Save and close.
