1. Moving funds into the suspense account
Usually, bank lines will be assigned to the Suspense account by clicking the pencil icon under the Edit column and changing the Category to Business and the Subcategory to Suspense account.
Alternatively, a double entry can be used to transfer funds from another ledger to the Suspense account.
For example, if a user was looking to move funds out of the business float and into the suspense account, then the following double entry should be added:
Navigate to Financials > Double entry
In the Money out section, please populate the fields as follows:
Category = The property
Subcategory = Business float out
Adjustment value = The balance to transfer
In the Money in section, please populate the fields as follows:
Category = Business
Subcategory = Suspense account
Adjustment value = The balance to transfer
Click Add Adjustment
The description can be populated for the agent’s reference.
Once submitted, two Balancing Payment (BP) lines will show on Bank > View bank lines. One will debit the Business float, and the other will credit the Suspense account.
2. Moving funds out of the suspense account
The double entry function can also move funds out of suspense.
For example, to move funds from the Suspense account to rent, the user should complete the following double entry.
Navigate to Financials > Double entry
Within the Money out section, please populate the fields as follows:
Category = Business
Subcategory = Suspense account
Adjustment value = The balance to transfer
Within the Money in section, please populate the fields as follows:
Category = The property
Subcategory = Rent in with the appropriate management fee percentage
Rent period = the relevant rent invoice
Adjustment value = The balance to transfer
Click Add Adjustment
The description can be populated for the agent’s reference.
