In this section

About this program
This program allows you to fix Broken (or disconnected) Transfers.
Read more about Transfers 
Read more about Broken Transfers
The program was originally developed to match up Transfers which are imported to Bank Genie from QIF files (e.g. from Quicken) using the program Import QIF Files - BS419
To allow matching, transfers can only be Fixed after all transactions have been imported. 

Using the program
If there are Broken transfers in your database, the program will:

  • show you a list of credits and debits which are categorised as Broken Transfer
  • attempt to automatically pair them up.
  • show you a list of matching pairs which can be fixed automatically
  • in the same list, show you details of any transactions which cannot be paired.
    These Broken Transfers can be fixed manually
  • allow you to view the individual Credit and Debit transactions

When you click on a matching pair in the list, the program locates and highlights the Debit record in the list of Credit transactions (top left) and likewise for the Credit record (top right)
You may Click on any record in the Debits (or Credits) list and click the appropriate Edit button to view more details about the transaction.

Automatically Fixing Broken Transfers
Click the Fix button at the bottom.
Screenshot
The program will display a message indicating the number of Broken Transfers which were automatically fixed

The listings of debits, credits and matched pairs will be refreshed, showing any remaining Broken Transfers.
If some matching pairs are displayed, click the Fix button again. Repeat until the program reports that 0 Transactions were fixed

Any remaining Broken Transfers must be fixed using the Manual Fixing process.

Manually Fixing Broken Transfers
Not all transfers can be fixed automatically.
If there are remaining Broken Transfer transactions after the Automatic Fixing process they are probably of two types

  1. where one or both sides of the transfers have splits
  2. where they are foreign currency transactions.

In either case, click on one transaction in the debit column and then click the Manually Fix button.
Screen BS422S03 will appear.
The cases we have encountered and the manual matching and fixing process is described in detail in that section.
