Overview

The Office Matter to Matter Transfer allows the Accounts Team to move Office credit funds from one matter to another.

This guide is for the actual processing of the transaction, not the requisition.

Steps to Perform a Transfer

Step 1 – Navigate to the Source Matter

• Open the matter from which funds will be transferred.
• Select Office Ledger.
• Click Matter to Matter Transfer to open the transfer window.

Step 2 – Review Available Balances

• The Office credit funds balance will display automatically.
• If there is a Credit Note balance, it will also display.
• Use the toggle if you wish to include the Credit Note balance in the transfer (this will only appear if there is a Credit Note balance)

Ensure sufficient Office funds are available before processing.

Step 3 – Enter Transfer Details

• Account: Select the relevant account from the drop-down menu.
• Amount: Enter the amount to transfer.
• Transfer Date: Enter the date the transfer should be posted.
• Reason: Provide a clear reason for the transfer.

Always include a reason to support audit and reporting requirements.

Step 4 – Select the Target Matter

• In the Transfer To section, start typing the Matter Number or Name.
• Select the correct matter from the list.

Step 5 – Post the Transfer

• Click Transfer to post the transaction.
• The system will record the movement of funds between matters.

Once posted, the Office funds balance in the source matter and the target matter will update automatically.

Best Practices

• Confirm the Office balance and credit notes before transferring.
• Always select the correct target matter to avoid misallocations.
• Document the reason for the transfer for internal controls.
• Transfers are irreversible; double-check all entries before posting.
