I wonder if someone can help me. 

I have a customer who organise festivals throughout the year. When they first began it was only two different ones, but now they have five or six different ones so I am finding having them all in one account is a bit troublesome, so need to create an account for each different festival.  However, last year they paid some deposits for festivals that didn't actually go ahead because of Covid so they are sitting in the "old" account.  This year they are planning their festivals and obviously want to use their deposits.  How do I remove the deposit from the old account and allocate it to a new account.  I assume its through a journal but would like some guidance if possible.  Many thanks

Hi Taylorshipley When you state that you have you have created a separate account for each festival what are you referring to, how have you set them up?

Hi there. 

Well I haven't done it yet, but I was going to set up different customer accounts for each festival, so say if the company was called Big Top and they were having a festival in Leeds, I would set up a customer account  Big Top ( Leeds), then if they had a festival in Liverpool I would set up a new customer account for Big Top ( Liverpool).  

Hope that makes sense 

Thank you.

I should add that when they purchase a tent they usually pay over a number of payments. So they pay a deposit, then 2 or 3 payments split over a few months.  This is why it gets messy having all the different festivals in one customer account. 

Hope that helps explain a little.
