How to split an expense | Split expenses by project, categories or cost centers from the business expenses page

Updated over a month ago

Business expenses can be split by projects, cost centers or categories. The expense is split into required sections and the original information on the split expense can be retained or modified. You can also split one single expense into 30 individual expenses.

To split an expense as an admin, select Business expenses from the left sidebar to get a list of all your business expenses. Select the required expense.

Select Edit and then select Options at the bottom of the expense form and select to split the expense by Category, Project, or Cost Center.

In the Split View, enter the details you want to retain from the original expense.

Note: If a receipt is attached to the original expense, the same receipt will be attached to the split expenses by default.

You can split the expense by percentage—type the required percentage in one of the splits, and the system will automatically adjust the amount between the expenses.

Select Add Split to add another split to the expense.

To distribute the amount equally between the splits, select Split Evenly.

Once all the details are filled in, select Split Expense.

Note: Splitting expenses is a permanent action. Expenses can not be reverted to the original expense once they're split.

The split expenses will be visible on the Business expenses page.

The expenses created from the split are indicated next to the receipt.

Expenses can be split in the Incomplete and Complete status. Once submitted for approval, expenses cannot be split.
