QUESTION:

When is Transfer Entries to be used?

RESPONSE:

The Transfer Entries module is used to:

1. move funds from one Category to another to support other categories/programs, possibly due to shortage of funds
2. move funds from a fundraising category to one or more categories
3. transfer funds from a category to be inactivated at the end of the school year to one or more categories (either new or continued as active)
   1. When?
      Should be executed prior to inactivating the category and before the fiscal year-end rollover

All Transfers are automatically cleared on the system and will not appear during reconciliation.

Year-End reports will not include any Transfers.

Report 13 - Transfer Report can be generated at any time to view all Transfers.
