Post
Storeflea posts a balanced journal — one customer's due drops, the other's rises by the same amount.
Sometimes a due needs to move between people — a son takes over his father's account, a business changes hands, or one family member settles for another. Storeflea does this the accountant-correct way: a journal voucher that moves the balance without inventing cash that never changed hands.
What actually happens
It posts a balanced Dr/Cr journal: the "from" customer's outstanding goes down and the "to" customer's goes up by the same amount. No money entered or left the business — only who owes it changed. Both customers' ledgers reflect the transfer with a clear reference, so the trail is auditable.
When to use it
- Family / group accounts — consolidate dues under one person.
- Change of proprietor — carry a balance to the new owner.
- Corrections — a bill was put on the wrong customer.
Availability
Credit transfer is a book-keeping action, so it lives on the Main branch of a multi-shop account (like other accounting features).
This is different from collecting a payment — no cash is involved. To take money, use the customer ledger's receipt instead.
Frequently asked
Can I move one customer's udhaar to another customer in Storeflea?
Yes. Use credit transfer, which posts a balanced Tally-style journal voucher: the first customer's outstanding decreases and the second's increases by the same amount. No cash is involved — only who owes the balance changes. Both ledgers show the transfer for audit.
Is a credit transfer the same as taking a payment?
No. A payment brings money into a cash/UPI/bank account and reduces a due. A credit transfer moves a due between two customers with no money changing hands.
