Splitting Transactions

When you receive an amount that represents donations from different individuals or different account codes, etc infoodle allows you to tag the transaction to different people or transaction categories. The transactions can be split between a number of individuals, account codes, stock items, memberships, events and campaigns e.g. if the one amount represents donations from 3 different individuals or if one donation from one individual must be allocated to 3 different account codes, events, etc.

Splitting existing transactions

Here is how to split an existing transaction between account codes:

1. Add an individual, bulk or collection of transactions or Search for the transaction that requires splitting between different account codes.
2. Once you have found the transaction complete the transaction details section.

3. To split the transaction, click ADD alongside Tax deductible. This allows you to add another set of boxes that enables you to enter another part of this transaction if it was to be allocated against a different account code or type. This can be repeated as often as required. To remove the boxes not needed click REMOVE.

4. Click SAVE TRANSACTION. This button is only shown when the total amount entered at the top of the screen matches the amounts listed in the transaction detail(s). If this button is not visible it means that you have not allocated all of the Total Amount above. The amount remaining to be allocated will be shown in the coloured box saying Amount to allocate as in the screenshot below. Once it has all been allocated then the Amount to allocate will be 0.00 and the button will appear enabling you to save the transaction.
