Transfers and scope

A transfer moves money between two accounts: an outflow on the source and an inflow on the destination. One primitive covers three common cases:

• a card payment: pay a liability from an asset, like Monthly card payment (Operating to Corporate Amex).
• a sweep: move cash between your own asset accounts, like Sweep to reserve.
• an intercompany transfer: move cash between two environments, like Intercompany funding to the subsidiary.

A projection's scope decides which environments' accounts count. At a single environment an intercompany transfer looks like cash leaving; at the group scope (parent plus subsidiary) it nets to zero because the cash never left the group. See *Intercompany transfer and scope*.
