 ## Transfer an enterprise account to a new enrollment
 
+An account transfer moves an account owner from one enrollment to another. All related subscriptions under the account owner will move to the target enrollment. This is performed when you have multiple active enrollments and only wish to move selected account owners.
+
 Keep the following points in mind when you transfer an enterprise account to a new enrollment:
 
 - Only the accounts specified in the request are transferred. If all accounts are chosen, then they are all transferred.
 - The source enrollment retains its status as active or extended. You can continue using the enrollment until it expires.

After the account transfer, all usage information in the account before the effective transfer date stays in the enrollment you're transferring from. The enrollment that you're transferring from is the _source enrollment_.  The source enrollment usage is charged against monetary commitment or as overage. Usage that occurs after the effective transfer date is transferred to the new enrollment and charged accordingly.
-
-You can backdate an enrollment transfer as far back as the start date of the target enrollment. Or, as far as the effective start date of the source enrollment.
