How to make recurring transfer entries?

Modified on Mon, 9 Sep at 8:54 PM

A transfer entry in TimelyBills reflects the movement of money between two accounts, generating two transactions: an income for the receiving account and an expense for the sending account.


When you add a transfer in TimelyBills, it automatically creates these two transactions. Transfer entries can be either recurring or one-time


Steps to create a recurring transfer entry:

  • Go to Dashboard: Open the app and navigate to the dashboard.



                                


  • Click the + icon: Tap the plus icon to begin adding a new transaction.


  



  • Select Transfer: Choose the transfer option from the list of transaction types.




  • Enter Amount: Input the amount to be transferred between the accounts.




 

  • Select Category: By default, transfers are categorized under Transfer, but you can change this based on your preferences.




  • Choose Accounts:
    • From Account: The account where the money will be deducted.
    • To Account: The account that will receive the funds.



  • Set Date: Select the date of the transfer.


  • Optional - Add Notes: Include any additional details in the notes field, if needed.
  • Repeat OptionTransfer entries can be set up as either recurring or one-time. Select the repeat option and choose the recurrence frequency to add recurring transfer: 
    • Daily: Repeats every day. 
    • Weekly: Repeats every week on the same day. 
    • Bi-weekly: Repeats every two weeks on the same day. 
    • Monthly: Repeats every month on the same day. 
    • Bi-monthly: Repeats every two months on the same day. 
    • Annually: Repeats every year on the same day. 
    • Custom: Allows you to specify a non-standard recurrence schedule, including specific dates or intervals. 



 


  • Expense Consideration: If you want to treat the outgoing transfer as an expense in the From Account for better tracking, check the box Consider this transfer as my expense.





  • Save the Transfer: Tap the checkmark icon in the top-right corner to save your transfer.




Once saved, your transfer will appear in your transactions, marked with a blue bar for easy identification. See the screenshot below for reference.
