Copying a Transaction

Instead of creating a manual transaction from scratch, you can create a manual transaction using an existing transaction. This is possible through copying a transaction. On copying a transaction, the details including the division, account identifier type, primary account identifier, transaction source, transaction record type, external reference number, and customer reference number are also copied to the new transaction. You can then edit the details, if required.

Prerequisites

To copy a transaction, you should have:

  • Transaction (whose copy you want to create) available in the application

  • Divisions, account identifier types, transaction sources, transaction record types, and currencies defined in the application
