Hi Kathrynm1
Sorry to see that no one has replied to you yet. When a payment is applied to an order, AccountRight treats that payment as a deposit. The software needs to put that payment somewhere, so that is why it has transfer from deposits where it has put the payment into an account temporarily.
The date that this transaction will use is based on the payment date. So if for example you had a bill created a month ago, if you:
- Created the bill for a month ago, clicked into payments then created a pay bills for today, the Transfer from Deposits transaction will be dated for today
- Created the bill for a month ago, clicked into payments then created a Pay Bills for a month ago the Transfer from Deposits transaction will be dated for a month ago
- Created the bill for a month ago, entered an amount in the Applied to Date it will be dated for a month ago
So to summarise, if you want to have the transfer from deposits for the later date, make sure you leave the Applied to Date field empty and enter the Pay Bills transaction for the later date.
Hope that helps.
