Fix a transfer mismatch
Transfers should not become fake income or fake expenses. Use this guide when a transfer lands as deposits, income, or an expense category.
Recognize the problem
A transfer mismatch usually looks like money moving inside the business but showing up as income, deposits, or expenses.
Common signs include categories like deposits, bank account names used as categories, credit card payments treated as expenses, or one side of a transfer missing from the match.
LeedBooks should look for the other leg, but unclear matches still need human approval. One visible side can be a transfer, owner draw, reimbursement, loan, payout, or real income.
Search nearby dates and opposite amounts.
Confirm this is internal movement, not revenue or spending.
Let AI prepare the transfer cleanup task for approval.
Look for the other leg
Use the ledger to search by amount and nearby dates.
A strong match usually has the same amount in the opposite direction, close dates, and account names or descriptions that point to internal movement.
Review edge cases
Be careful with payment platforms and payouts.
Some deposits from payment processors may include customer income, fees, refunds, or transfers. Some money movement may be owner draws or reimbursements instead of normal bank-to-bank transfers.
Approve the fix
Ask AI to prepare a transfer cleanup task when the mismatch is clear.
Do not manually force unclear items. Approve a prepared task when it explains the two sides and the reason for the transfer treatment.
Understand transfer detection
The transfer detection guide explains how LeedBooks identifies internal movement and when it asks for approval.
