Re-allocate a receipt to another family

Re-allocate a receipt to another family

A re-allocation is performed when a receipt was issued to Family X but should have been issued to Family Y. The entire receipt amount must be moved to the correct family, not just part of it. Note: Receipts issued directly from the bank statement cannot be re-allocated and must be corrected via a debtor journal.
