Overview:

Transfers Between Bank Accounts is a feature that enables users to move funds from one bank account to another within the same company, automatically recording the transaction in the ledger without applying any VAT or tax, ensuring accurate currency conversions and record-keeping.

The Bank Transfer feature allows you to transfer payments from one bank account to another bank account.

Each bank account must be from the same Company to perform the bank transfer.  All currency calculations and conversions will be stored on the Bank Transfer record and the associated ledger records. The tax rate is always “No VAT” so shall not appear on your VAT/Tax reports.

Post A Draft Bank Transfer

The Zumzum Financials Bank Transfer API provides developers with the ability to insert a bank transfer transaction in a “Draft” status.  You can either user the Bank Transfer API to post this bank transfer transaction to the Zumzum Ledger or use the web user interface to manually post the record.

This feature is only available in the Salesforce Lightning interface.

Note:  If you have cloned the default Zumzum Bank Transfer Record Page, you will need to manually upgrade your custom page to use Dynamic Actions.  Follow this help article to learn more about implementing Dynamic Actions in Salesforce Lightning.

The Zumzum Bank Transfer Record page contains a Dynamic Action for Post.  This action has visibility filters configured to only how you the action if  the status is Approved or Draft.  Once you have upgraded your own custom bank transfer record page to use Dynamic Actions, please implement the same action visibility filters on the Post quick action.  Go to the Zumzum lightning record page to view the filters of the dynamic quick action as described in the Salesforce Dynamic Actions in Salesforce Lightning.  You can then apply these visibility filter configurations on your own custom lightning record pages.
