Split Transaction
You can access the Split Transaction window from the Write Checks window and the Account Register.
The Write Checks window lets you make payments without making individual line-item distributions. However, if you want to make individual distributions, you can select the Split button. The Split Transaction window appears, and you can enter the appropriate line-item information.
At Account No. and Description fields, Sage 50 offers as default the expense account number and description for the vendor you chose in the Write Checks or Account Register window. You can change these as needed.
The toolbar at the top of the window contains the following buttons: Cancel, OK, Add, Remove, and Help.
Transaction Totals
As you enter the line items making up the transaction, at the bottom of the window Sage 50 keeps a running total of the amount of the payment distributed, the amount remaining to be distributed, and the total amount of the payment.
If you select OK but the total amount of the check you have written does not match the total amount of all distributions, the Unbalanced Split window appears.
