When you move money between two bank accounts (e.g., Current Account to Savings Account), you should record one transfer in BrightBooks and avoid duplicating it from bank feeds.
1. Recording a Bank-to-Bank Transfer
- Go to Banking > Payments > Quick Payment.
- Enter the transfer from the paying bank account to the receiving bank account.
- Save/post the transaction.
This creates a single transfer that reduces one bank balance and increases the other.
2. Handling Transfers on Bank Feeds
When both bank accounts have feeds, the same transfer will appear twice in your imported bank lines:
- once on the paying bank feed (money out), and
- once on the receiving bank feed (money in).
To avoid duplicates:
- Choose one bank feed (usually the main/current account) where you will match or post the transfer.
- On the second bank feed, ignore that transfer line instead of posting it again.
