Record a transaction¶
Record a deposit, withdrawal, credit, or debit against a customer's trading account, either from anywhere in the firm or from the customer's account card.
Prerequisites
- You are signed in to the Backoffice with a role that grants the permission to record monetary transactions.
- The customer already has at least one trading account — the transaction is recorded against a specific trading account.
Warning
You cannot record a transaction while viewing as another user. The action is blocked, because money movements must be attributed to the real operator.
Record a transaction from the transactions page¶
Use this when you want to record a transaction without first opening the customer's account card.
- Open Monetary Transactions in the sidebar and click New transaction.
- Under Account, search for and pick the customer. The search matches the account's name, the customer's first and last name, and their phone number.
- Under Trading account, pick the trading account the money moves on. Only the chosen customer's trading accounts appear; if the customer has none, the dialog tells you so.
- Choose the Transaction type — Deposit, Withdrawal, Credit, or Debit.
- Check the Currency. It fills in automatically from the trading account you picked; change it only if you need a different currency.
- Enter the Amount.
- (Optional) Select Approved on creation to record the transaction as already approved, skipping the pending-approval step.
- Click Create. The new transaction appears in the grid.
Record a transaction from the account card¶
Use this when you are already working on a customer's account.
- Open the customer's account card and go to its monetary transactions section.
- Click Add transaction.
- Pick the Trading account the money moves on.
- Choose the Transaction type — Deposit, Withdrawal, Credit, or Debit.
- Check the Currency (it fills in from the chosen trading account) and enter the Amount.
- (Optional) Select Approved on creation to record it as already approved.
- Click Create.
Note
A transaction you record without Approved on creation starts as Pending and waits for an approval decision. See Approve or reject a transaction.
