How to do a bank wire transfer from one bank to another?
|
|
========================================================
|
|
|
|
A company might have several bank accounts or cash registers. Within
|
|
odoo it is possible to handle internal transfers of money with only a
|
|
couple of clicks.
|
|
|
|
We will take the following example to illustrate. My company has two
|
|
bank accounts and I want to transfer 50.000 euros from one of our bank
|
|
accounts to the another one.
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
Check your Chart of Accounts and default transfer account
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
To handle internal transfers you need a transfer account in your charts
|
|
of account. Odoo will generate an account automatically based on the
|
|
country of your chart of account. To parameter your chart of account and
|
|
check the default transfer account go into your the accounting module,
|
|
select :menuselection:`Configuration --> Settings`.
|
|
|
|
Your chart of accounts will be pre-installed depending on the country
|
|
specified during your registration, it cannot be changed.

The default transfer account will automatically be generated as well
|
|
depending on your country's legislation. If necessary it can be modified
|
|
from the same page.

Create a second bank account / Journal
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Before we can register an internal transfer we need to add a new bank to
|
|
our accounting dashboard. To do so enter the accounting module, click on
|
|
:menuselection:`Configuration --> Bank Accounts`. Create a new bank account. You should
|
|
fill in the **Account Number**. You can also create and edit your bank to
|
|
specify your bank's details.
|

By saving the changes you now have 2 bank accounts.

Register an internal transfer from one bank to another.
|
|
=======================================================
|
|
|
|
We will now transfer 50.000 euros from our **Bank** to our **Bank BE57 0633
|
|
9533 1498** account.
|
|
|
|
Log an internal transfer
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
The first step is to register the internal paiement. To do so, go into
|
|
your accounting dashboard. click on the **more** button of one of your banks
|
|
and select :menuselection:`New --> Internal transfer`.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: media/interbank01.png
|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
Create a new payment. The payment type will automatically be set to
|
|
internal transfer. Select the **Bank** you want to transfer to, specify the
|
|
**Amount** and add a **Memo** if you wish.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
The memo is important if you wish to automatically reconcile (`see <Reconcile_>`_).
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
|
Save and confirm the changes to register the payment.
|
|
|
|
In terms of accounting the money is now booked in the transfer account.
|
|
We'll need to import bank statements to book the money in the final
|
|
accounts.
|
|
|
|
.. _Reconcile:
|
|
|
|
Import bank statements and reconcile
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Note that the bank balance computed by Odoo is different that the last
|
|
statement of your bank.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
That is because we did not import the bank statement confirming the
|
|
departure and arrival of the money. It's thus necessary to import your
|
|
bank statement and reconcile the payment with the correct bank statement
|
|
line. Once you receive your bank statements click the **new statement**
|
|
button of the corresponding bank to import them.
|
|
|
|

|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
Fill in your **Transactions line**. Once done, Odoo will display a **Computed
|
|
Balance**. that computed balance is the theorical end balance of your
|
|
bank account. If it's corresponding to the bank statement, it means that no errors were
|
|
made. Fill in the **Ending balance** and click on the **Reconcile** button.
|

The following window will open:
|
|
|
|

|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
You need to choose counterparts for the paiement. Select the correct
|
|
bank statement line corresponding to the paiement and click on the
|
|
**reconcile** button. Close the statement to finish the transaction
|
|
|
|
.. image:: media/interbank08.png
|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
The same steps will need to be repeated once you receive your second
|
|
bank statement. Note that if you specify the correct amount, and the
|
|
same memo in both bank statement and payment transaction then the
|
|
reconciliation will happen automatically.
