The internal transfer between accounts lets you move money between your own accounts and automatically generate accounting entries. This way, you track movements without double entry. This bank transfer remains fully traceable.

Performing an internal transfer between accounts

To record one, open the Bank → Bank → Bank Transfers menu. Then, specify the source account, the destination account, an amount, a date, and a description.

internal transfer between accounts: form FROM TO amount in DoliPlus

As soon as you enter the transfer, DoliPlus creates two accounting entries: a debit in one account and a credit for the same amount in the other. Additionally, the same description and date apply to both entries. This keeps your accounts consistent.

The transfer in accounting

When posting to accounting, DoliPlus uses the internal transfer account 58013000. It debits and credits the relevant accounts with this. This way, the operation complies with accounting rules without extra steps. You can then find these movements in the accounting export.

Why automate these transfers?

Moving money between accounts and manually copying entries wastes time and causes errors. DoliPlus automates the whole process.

You benefit in three ways:

  • single entry: one operation generates both entries;
  • accurate accounts: debit and credit balance automatically;
  • ready accounting: the internal transfer account is managed for you.

Ultimately, this feature ensures reliable transfers between accounts. You enter the operation once, and DoliPlus handles the two balanced entries. Your accounting remains accurate, with no re-entry required.
