Enter a split transaction into the register in QuickBooks Online
Learn how to enter a split transaction in QuickBooks Online.
When you enter a transaction into the register in QuickBooks Online, only one account can typically be associated with it. You must enter a split transaction if you need to list multiple accounts for a single transaction.
Note: If you haven't entered the transaction yet, it's best to open the Invoice, Bill, or corresponding form and associate multiple accounts directly on the form.
Record multiple accounts in a transaction
Go to All apps
, then Accounting, then Chart of accounts (Take me there).Find the account for the transaction.
Under the Action column, select View register.
Select the transaction, then select Edit. The entry screen for that particular transaction opens.
Enter the other accounts to add with their corresponding amounts. Note: The amounts for each account must add up to the total amount of the transaction.
Select Save. The transaction now displays "Split" in account column.
