How to split bank transactions

Learn how to split bank transactions accurately for detailed expense breakdowns.

Updated over a month ago

Sometimes a single bank transaction needs to be split — for example, if it relates to multiple categories, properties, or includes a mix of GST and non-GST items (especially for sole traders). In these cases, you can use the Split button to make sure the transaction is allocated correctly.

When to Use the Split Button

The Split option appears during the allocation process whenever you're allocating a bank transaction.

How to Split a Transaction

  1. Start by allocating the transaction as usual.

  2. Instead of clicking Continue, select the Split button.

  3. In the Split Transaction pop-up, enter the amount you want to allocate first, then click Split to confirm.

You’ll now see the part payment amount listed against the transaction in the Reconcile tab.

Repeat the steps to allocate the remaining amount, or split it further, until the full bank transaction has been reconciled.
