Learn how to enter a split transaction in QuickBooks Online.
When you enter a transaction into the account history, only one account can be associated with it. But if you need to list multiple accounts, here’s how.
Record multiple accounts in a transaction
Note: If you didn’t enter the transaction yet, it’s best to open the Invoice, Bill, etc. and associate multiple accounts.
- Go to Transactions and select Chart of accounts (Take me there).
- Find the account for the transaction.
- Under the Action column, select Account history.
- Select the transaction, then select Edit. The entry screen for that particular transaction opens.
- Enter the other accounts to add with the amount.
Note: The amounts for each account should add up to the total amount of the transaction. - Select Save. The transaction now displays Split in account column.
