The following article details how to process insurance proceeds where a claim is successful.
Solution
Where a claim is successful, account for the insurance proceeds paid to the SMSF using the 27500/MemberCode - Proceeds from Insurance Policies account.
| DR | 60400/BANK |
| CR | 27500/MemberCode - Proceeds from Insurance Policies |
Simple Fund 360 will then automatically create subsequent system member journals to apply the balance to the member.
Upon the withdrawal of proceeds, users may use the 46000/Member Code – Benefits Paid/Transfers Out account.
For more information, refer to Lump Sum Payments.
However, if a pension payment has been elected as the form of payment, users may post a journal using 41600/Member Code - Pensions Paid.
