Bank lines can be split when a single bank transaction contains multiple payments that need to be categorised separately. Splitting a bank line creates individual bank lines for each payment amount while retaining the original transaction details.
To split a bank line into multiple lines:
Navigate to Financials > Unassigned lines (if the line is unassigned) or Bank > View bank lines (if the line is already assigned).
Locate the bank line to be split.
Within the ID column, click on the ID number to open the bank line splitting page.
Enter each payment amount on a separate row in the Amount field.
For each payment, select the appropriate Category and Subcategory.
If required, complete the Description and Made by fields for each payment.
If the payment is to be split into many lines, click Add 5 lines to create additional rows.
Ensure the Amount remaining (located at the bottom of the table) shows as £0.
Click Add lines above.
If the Amount remaining does not equal £0.00, the amounts entered do not match the original transaction value. Review the entered amounts and amend them as required.
When the split is submitted, new bank lines are created for each entered amount and are automatically assigned using the selected category and subcategory values.
These new bank lines will retain the original bank transaction's date, account name, and reference. Each new bank line displays the original bank line ID in the Transaction type field for reference.
Note:
After the split is completed, the original bulk bank transaction is moved to Ignored lines and is no longer displayed in Bank > View bank lines.
To view the original transaction:
Navigate to Bank > View bank lines.
Open the View dropdown.
Select Ignored lines.
