Convert a Transaction to a Transfer

Logged a payment as an expense, but it was actually money moved between your accounts? One tap reclassifies — no re-entry, no balance drift.

Why mistakes happen — and what to do about them

Mistakes happen. You log a transfer as an expense, the spending stats inflate, the destination account doesn't credit. Budgie's "Convert to transfer" action takes the existing transaction and turns it into a transfer to the account you pick.

Source-side and destination-side records are linked, balances reconcile in both, and the original spending stat falls out of the analytics. No double-entry surgery from you.

What you get

One-tap action from any transaction's long-press menu

Source and destination legs link automatically — no double-entry by you

Spending analytics updates in place — old expense falls out cleanly

Cross-currency conversion supported — dual-amount input after destination pick

Reversible: split a transfer back into two separate transactions if needed

How it works

Long-press the transaction → Convert to Transfer → pick the counter-account. Budgie creates the destination leg, links the pair, and updates analytics in place.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "Convert to Transfer" actually do?
The expense (or income) becomes the source leg of a transfer; you pick the destination account, and Budgie creates the destination leg automatically. Both legs are linked.
Will my analytics update?
Yes — the original spending stat falls out immediately because transfers don't count as expenses.
Can I undo the conversion?
Yes. Long-press the transfer and choose "Split back into two transactions"; both halves return to their original types.
Does this work for cross-currency?
Yes. The dual-amount input opens after picking the destination account. Original amount is preserved on the source leg; destination leg gets your specified amount.
