Is there a way split  $$ applied to one account to pay another account. As in a hidden sub

  • Hi Mike -

    There are several ways of doing this - usually through some sort of 'Split Payment' payment method. Some people do an Adjustment Payment method to a bogus GL and some do a GC payment method. We use the GC payment method as we find that is easier to track and control. So we have created a payment method of GC type that goes to a dummy GL and when we share money across accounts we sell the money to that payment type, write down the GC number that it creates and then go to the other account and use that same payment method and GC number to pull the money off. The balance always equals zero (or should) so we never have any issues with Finance. 

    HTH,

  • Hi All:
    We use a payment method (an on account type) called 'Inter-Patron Adjustment' that is used only for these purposes.

    Our business rules state that these take place in an isolated batch and that the net balance of the transactions must be $0 ($100 moved out of one constituent account and $100 moved into another). 

    Best of luck,
    Mark

  • If I’m understanding you correctly, you need a special payment method, and you need it assigned to your user group.

     

    We have a special payment method for this. In the Income/Refund box, it has Both; it reports to a distinct GL; it has a payment type of Adjustment. When you take money out of one account, you need to put the same amount into another account. It is relatively easy to screw this up, and relatively hard to trace it in the client, so I have a report that you can run for a time period (such as a day) that returns all transactions using this payment method. If the sum for a day is not $0, you need to start digging and find out why. We have this report scheduled to run on the first day of the month for the previous month.

  • We have used gift certificate to move an online credit from one account to another then we wised up and created a transfer payment method to handle such things.  It was much more clean when it came to accounting.
