# Reconcile fund transfers

Track payouts (bank transfers) and internal transfers in your balance platform.

[View source](/marketplaces/reconciliation-use-cases/reconcile-transfers.md)

Use the Balance Platform Accounting Report to track money movements in your balance platform:

* [Payouts](/marketplaces/managed-payouts) to your users. Funds move from an account holder's balance account to their external bank account or other transfer instrument. In the report, payouts are identified as **bankTransfer** events.
* [Internal transfers](/marketplaces/internal-fund-transfers). Funds move between balance accounts. For example, when you want to send bonuses from your liable balance account to the balance accounts of your users. Or when your user wants to move funds between their own balance accounts.

## Track a transfer

To identify transfers *in general* in the Balance Platform Accounting Report, note the following columns:

* **Transfer Id**: indicates that the credit or debit of the transfer is pending and no real money movement has taken place. Linked events share the same Transfer Id.
* **Transaction Id**: indicates that the credit or debit is booked on the balance and real money movement has taken place. If a transfer doesn't have a Transaction Id, no money movement has taken place yet. You can link a transaction to a transfer by matching the Transfer Id.
* **Category**: *internal* for an internal transfer, or *bank* for a payout.
* **Type**: *internalTransfer* for an internal transfer, or *bankTransfer* for a payout.
* **Status**: *booked* in combination with a populated **Transaction Id** indicates the funds are booked to the destination balance account or payment instrument.
* **Balance (PC)**: the amount of the transfer.

To track a *specific* transfer in the Balance Platform Accounting Report, you can use the following columns:

* For a specific payout: **Description**, **Reference**, or **Reference For Beneficiary**.
* For a specific internal transfer: **Reference For Beneficiary**.

The values in those columns match the values provided in the API request or sweep configuration. You can look up these details in the [balancePlatform.transfer.created](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfer-webhooks/latest/post/balancePlatform.transfer.created) and [balancePlatform.transfer.updated](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/transfer-webhooks/latest/post/balancePlatform.transfer.updated) webhooks, or in your [Customer Area](https://ca-test.adyen.com/). For more general sweep information you can make GET [/balanceAccounts/{balanceAccountId}/sweeps/{sweepId}](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/balanceplatform/latest/get/balanceAccounts/\(balanceAccountId\)/sweeps/\(sweepId\)) requests.

For reconciliation purposes, it is important that your integration populates the `description`, `reference`, and `referenceForBeneficiary` fields, even though these fields are optional.

### Balance Platform Accounting Report

The following example shows an internal transfer of EUR 15.00 between two balance accounts in the Balance Platform Accounting Report.

## Track payouts using the Statement report

An alternative way to track payouts is to use the Balance Platform [Statement Report](/marketplaces/reports-and-fees/statement-report). This shows all accounts where a balance change happened on a given day, including the events that contributed to the balance change.
