With the new visual update I am no longer able to put multiple values in the line item section. I used to be able to use multiplication and press tab to get a value.

Has anyone found out how to continue to do arithmetic in the split tab?

I'm glad you reached out to us, kevin83.

 

I want to make sure your concern will be properly addressed. To best assist you, I may need just a bit more details about this.

 

Can you tell what line item section are you referring to? Also, may I know what do you mean by multiple values? I would appreciate any details you can share including screenshot to help me better understand your concern and provide an accurate solution.

 

I'm looking forward for your reply. Any additional information would be a great help.Take care and have a good one!

I can no longer add values in lines when entering in split transactions. See screenshot.

Thanks for the screenshot, kevin83,

 

You'll want to use an actual calculator app to add those digits. Then, enter it in the Amount field.

 

QuickBooks Online automatically provides the difference when you enter the amount in the first line item. Hence, you can keep adding lines until the balance is zero.

 

Splitting a Bank Transaction

 

  1. From QuickBooks Online, navigate to the Banking tab, then to the For Review section.
  2. Click the transaction you need to assign multiple Payees and select Split.
  3. For each part of the split, enter a Category, a Payee, and the Amount.

  4. Click Save and add once finished.

I've added this article to learn how to manage your bank transactions: Categorize and match online bank transactions in QuickBooks Online.

 

Let me know if there's anything else you need. Just tag my name and I'm glad to help.

 

Thank you and stay safe!

Why did they remove this feature? It saves me substantial amount of time to calculate in Quickbooks and has been able to be done for at least 15 years.

Thanks for getting back, kevin83,

 

Due to enhancement and feature requests from customers like you, our Product Engineer had made changes to some functionalities in QuickBooks Online.

 

You have to simply enter the amount on your split transaction. Then, QuickBooks will calculate the remaining difference for you.
