The Book (Funds) Transfers feature in your bank plugin will allow you to transfer funds between two accounts in the same entity. 

Transactions appear instantly in the backend and ERP UI, while the PINACLE UI may take up to 15 minutes to reflect changes.

:::hint{type="warning"}
**IMPORTANT:** Intacct does not allow the transfer of funds between 2 accounts from 2 separate entities. The Bank Accounts have to be set up at the top level, with 2 different location IDs (or Fund IDs) or within the same entity (not at the top-level). This is an Intacct limitation.

## Prerequisites

Please ensure the following prerequisites are met to make a successful funds transfer:

- No required dimensions configured on GL accounts.

## FAQs

:::ExpandableHeading
**Why do I get the ‘\[BL01001973] Invalid Journal CDJ selected – Pick a valid active Journal.’ error?**

****

This is because the correct journal has not been set up. 

To resolve this, navigate to **General Ledger -> Configuration -> **Journal and add a journal. The symbol of that new journal should be CDJ.
:::

:::ExpandableHeading
**What happens if the transfer is voided before it is processed at the bank?**

****

In this case, FISPAN changes the value of the original journal entries to 0 and marks it as **Voided \{amount} Transfer – \{original message}**. You can always find the status of the transfer in the History tab.
:::

:::ExpandableHeading
**When doing a transfer between different location IDs, how do I know which accounts are debited/credited?**

Intacct natively supports the balancing of such transactions. Check the inter-entity map, which summarizes the balancing of any transactions between different location IDs.
:::

:::ExpandableHeading
**Where can I change my inter-entity map?**

Navigate to **Company -> Set up -> Inter-account mapping**.
:::

:::ExpandableHeading
**What happens if I do not include a memo in my transfer?**

In this case, the plugin will automatically add a memo following **From bank account** **(sourceBankName)** to **bank account (destBankName)**. This is the same as Native Intacct.
:::

:::ExpandableHeading
**Can I transfer money between two different currencies?**

No, both the ‘to’ and ‘from’ accounts need to have the same currency. The ‘to’ account will only show the accounts that have been matched and that have the same currency.
