Entering Split Transactions

A split transaction allows you to make one entry on a ledger for a total amount that will show on individual ledgers in separate amounts.

An example of when you might need to enter a split transaction is when you receive a payment from a tenant for multiple income categories. 

System Note: When entering a multiple line transaction such as payments from HUD or paying a vendor for work on multiple properties, try using the Batch Income and Expense Transaction Tool
