Restricting unrestricted assets #2

PCPlus 11.5 on Windows 10

My church had a surplus of income to expenses last year in general giving. We have decided to maintain these extra funds as restricted for future missions work as needed. I am at a loss on how to convert these funds to a restricted status without showing the transition as income or expense. It is desirable to maintain an account that can be tracked for future accounting and reporting. Any suggestions?

If I understand this correctly, all I need to do is debit the General Fund equity account and credit the Restricted equity account. Simple - no muss, no fuss.
