Transfer period

This section allows you to choose the method of transferring entries to the accounts:

  • Manual: transfer at the request of the collaborator through the "Transfer" menu. This action is open to both the employee and the client (provided that the company has displayed accounting options)
  • Daily: automatic transfer every day of the week
  • Weekly: automatic transfer on one weekday
  • Monthly: automatic transfer on one day of the month


It is advisable to remain in "Manual" transfer mode when starting to use the Fact application, in order to check that the catalogue, customers and accounting settings have been set up, in order to avoid errors in the transfer to the accounts
