You need to explain more about what you are trying to achieve
You say “normal receipt the clients bring to you” - sorry, but I do not understand what you mean by this
Perhaps explain a bit more about the business you are trying to do the accounting for - is it for you and your business, a business the client owns or something else
I Started doing bookkeeping for a business that is a restaurant based in a hospital their main income comes from the hospital; they have two accounts main business and a pure saving account what the owner does when he receives money for service provided he takes 40% of income and transfers it to the pure save later on in the month he transfers some amount for stock and so forth so what I have done every transfer he did i placed it under an account called shareholders loan but i want to correct it
I am assuming that the owner is the main or only shareholder of the business.
You should have two bank accounts - one for the business account and one for the savings account. I am assuming that the savings account belongs to the business and not to the owner.
If the owner then withdraws money from this account to purchase shares, I am assuming that the shares are his and do not belong to the business. So he has withdrawn funds from the business so this would be recorded as a payment to the owner which reduces his capital account
If you could post the chart of accounts you are using I could comment with some better advice
on the 28/09/2019 he transferred money from pure save to main account to purchase stop all these transaction a created a shareholder loan account where i have placed them
I am not sure that Shareholder’s Loan is the correct title for the account - it will depend on the type of business structure that is used - sole trader, limited company, private company, etc
Presumably the owner injected some capital into the business when it started - Any money taken out of the company to purchase shares in the owner’s name will be record using a Payment from the savings account and posted to the owner’s capital account.
It possible that the owner has also loaned money to the company but that is a different from his investing in the company.
@joe, I think you are partially misunderstanding @Angela_Tjitombo. When she referred to taking money out of the savings account for stock, I think she was referring to buying supplies. (This could be either inventory items or just operating supplies.) So I believe all the discussion of shares and shareholder loans may be off track.
@Angela_Tjitombo, let’s go back to your original post. You asked about transferring between accounts. As @Joe91 told you already, this can only be done in Manager with inter account transfers. Read the Guide: Transfer money between bank and cash accounts | Manager. The purpose of the transfer does not matter, but can be recorded in the Description field. No information on liability, income, or expense accounts is necessary, because an inter account transfer just moves money from one “pocket” to another.
When your client purchases supplies for the restaurant, you can enter a purchase invoice if the purchase is on credit. See Create purchase invoices | Manager. Or you can just record the payment. See Record a payment | Manager. (If you use a purchase invoice, you will enter a payment later to pay off the Accounts payable subaccount for that supplier.)
I also notice a receipt transaction in your last screen shot on 28/9/2019 for “stock.” The only reason you would ever have a receipt for stock is if you are selling stock to someone else.
You may also be right, @Joe91. This is, as you pointed out in your post #8, the difficulty when forum members use terminology not used by the program or the Guides. Others have difficulty understanding what they mean.
this is making much more sense cause like i said i created a shareholder loan since hes the only member in the company so money that he transferred to to main account came from the the savings account. Doesn’t manager have a way were we can manually enter bank transactions
@Tut I have used the csv I only got to know i can manually enter transactions through payments and receipts. @Joe91 thanks I understand it now its clear
