I am using the inter account transfer tab and am having some issues. A lot of my transactions are automatically matching up correctly, but the majority of them are not matching up. The amounts are the same, the transfer is showing the correct accounts, but for some reason they are not matching up to be added to the transfer tab.
It appears as though part of the issue may be that I am being credited my payments before they are actually debited from the pay account (receipt coming in before payment).
Is there some way to manually match these items up myself so that they are allocated correctly? Or should I just switch back to using a clearing account?
Thank you! I read that thread and it was very enlightening. It looks like for now my only option is to backdate the payment, link them as a transfer and then change the clearing date to the correct date. It’s more work than just using the suspense account that I was before, but I do like the separation of the transactions into their own field.
I figured out a work around that seems to be more time effective for me. I had to change all of my accounts to “can have pending transactions”. Then, using the form above I just go to each payment, change the date of the payment transaction to the date of the receipt transaction and change the clearing date to the correct date for the payment processing. It’s still more work than I’d like, but it’s easier than what I thought I would have to do.
Please do not mark topics that you create as solved by you. The guidance to solving your issue came from the post of @Patch and it would be better to mark that post as the Solution.
No stress.
In this particular case I think @sevinn has used the information provided to come up with a better solution than otherwise available and described on the forum.
Of course @lubos implementing the changes he described would be better again.
The reason I chose my own answer in this case is because the solution I came up with does not necessarily follow directly from the link that @patch shared with me, and I want other users to be able to see the most streamlined solution available at this time and not have to try and piece together their own solution from that thread. Of course, @patch is the one who provided me with the information to craft the solution, and without them, there is no way I could have worked out a better solution to this problem (thanks again @patch).
I just want to be clear, I’m not trying to steal credit, or avoid giving credit where credit is due, my only purpose in marking my post as the solution is to make it easier for other people with the same issue to resolve it in the future.
