Hi there,
The purpose of using the Split feature is to separate the transaction into two separate accounts in your register. Perhaps there may be multiple components to one expense, and you want to allocate these costs to two separate locations. I'd be happy to explain how to record this in QBO.
When your bill payment comes through the bank feeds in QuickBooks Online, you can use the Split feature to record the separate components of the expense. To do that, click on the bill payment transaction, the click Split at the bottom left side of the editing pop-up.
Once you hit Split, you'll be prompted to enter a payee and location, as well as to specify the portion of the bill payments for each account you'd like to split it between. All you have to do from there is click Save and add.
I hope this helps get you back on the right track. If you have any other questions about splitting your bill payment transactions, please reach out to our tech support team.
Cheers.
