Understand a bank pair marked Ready to post

Distinguish a prepared transfer journal from a posted entry.

Updated 2026-11-11

Ready to post means the bank pair has a generated journal request awaiting the posting step. Preparing the pair does not by itself establish that the journal has been posted to Institution Books.

  1. Find the pair in Bank transfers and card payments.
  2. Choose View pair and inspect Journal state and Accounting date.
  3. Use Post or review generated journal to complete the appropriate accounting review with your available access.

Verify the result in the journal workflow

The pair detail links to its specific generated request. Follow that link rather than creating another manual journal merely because the pair is still ready to post.

An accountant can also review and post the prepared journal when the workflow and permissions allow. Source versions and ledger mappings are checked again at posting, so resolve any newly identified evidence issue before proceeding. After the action, refresh transfers and inspect the current pair and journal states. Do not interpret the presence of the pair in the table as a posted result. Likewise, preparation and posting do not move money at the bank; they record accounting for the movement represented by the existing source legs.
