The name of an account. If the transaction originated in this register, this is the account to which you distributed the funds (if you distributed to more than one account, the word “Split” appears in place of an account name). If the transaction originated in another register, this is the account for that register.
Choose the account you use to track that kind of expenditure from the list. Typically, you would choose one of your expense accounts.
Click Splits. When you enter a split, you can distribute the amount of the transaction to more than one account. You can assign each split amount to a specific customer or job if you track job-related expenses or charge costs back to your customers. You can also assign classes to the amounts to give yourself another way to track the costs on your reports.
From a register, you can enter splits only for expenses on checks, bills, or credit card charges. To enter split detail for items — or for other kinds of transactions such as bill payments — double-click the transaction to display it in its original form.
