Hi Team,
I hope this message finds you well. I’m writing to seek your assistance
regarding a split transaction issue I'm currently experiencing. I've
encountered a problem when trying to split a transaction, and I'm not sure how
to resolve it.
When I attempt to split the transaction, it seems that the amounts do not
distribute correctly, resulting in an imbalance. I've double-checked the
entries, but I can't seem to pinpoint where the error might be. Has anyone else
faced a similar issue, or could you offer any guidance on how to troubleshoot
or correct this?
I appreciate your help and look forward to any advice or solutions you might
have. Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.
Best regards,
Øivind Nicolaysen
a) You are not giving us enough information. For example, is the
transaction split on just one side, debit or credit split (1) or is it
split on both sides (debit AND credit (2)
b) I am going to continue assuming (1). Start in the account of the side
NOT split. This will be the largest amount. Instead of selecting an
account for the other side, hit split bring up journal mode. Change the
AMOUNT on the other side to what it should be for that account and enter
the account. Enter and now a new imbalance amount shows up. Repeat. When
done, there should be nothing left in imbalance (you should not have had
to change that last amount).
c) Something left over in imbalance. Check that the debits and credits
of your transaction are correct. The computer did not make a mistake in
addition, you did.
d) Split on both sides? (2). For the time being, don't (use multiple
transactions). You need to be comfortable doing one sided splits before
learning the tricks to do these.
