Split transaction

Splitting divides the amount of a single transaction across multiple categories. The total stays equal to the amount on your bank statement.

  1. Open the transaction and click Split.

  2. Choose a category for the top row in the Split screen.

  3. Click Add new split and enter a category and an amount for each part.

  4. Save.

The top row gets the remainder: the amount left after the other parts.

The transaction list shows the main row at the top: the transaction as your bank delivers it, with the bank amount in grey. The parts are indented below it, the remainder first. The main row does not count in your totals; the parts do.

Sorting by amount, or grouping by category, group, relation or tag? Then the parts appear separately in the list, with a split icon.

Click a part to change its category, tag, relation and memo. If you leave the relation or memo empty, the part takes them from the main transaction. The amount of the remainder cannot be changed, because Spendle calculates it.

At the top there is a bar Split from …. Click it to go back to the main transaction. Clicking the main row in the list opens the main transaction directly. Click Split there to see the parts listed.

Open the main transaction, click Split and remove the parts with the bin icon. After saving, the transaction is a single entry again. You can also remove one part via the menu in the screen of that part.
