Reverse a bank transfer or bank deposit
Description

A Bank Transfer occurs when money moves between two bank accounts.

A Bank Deposit occurs when you pay cash into your bank account. In Sage Accounting, use a bank deposit to move money from a cash account to a bank account. For example, you can pay cash from your till into your bank account.

NOTE:

Once you've reconciled a bank transfer or bank deposit, you can't edit or delete it. To correct it, you must reverse the transaction.
