Reverse a bank transfer or cash deposit

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

A Cash Deposit is when you pay cash into your bank account. On Sage Accounting, you use this option to move money from a cash account to a bank account. For example, you pay cash from till taking into your bank account. 

When you reconcile a bank transfer or cash deposit, you can't edit or delete it. You must reverse the transaction instead. 

Reversing a bank transfer or cash deposit will update the balance on both accounts. You can then create the correct transaction if necessary.
