FAQ

Common questions

What is a split transaction?

It is a single bank transaction divided across more than one category, project or VAT rate so it's recorded accurately.

Why would I split a transaction?

Because real payments often cover several things at once — splitting records each part against the right account.

Can each split line have its own VAT?

Yes. You can apply the correct VAT treatment to each portion of the split.

Can I split a transaction across projects?

Yes. Portions of a transaction can be allocated to different projects as well as categories.

Code it accurately

Mixed transactions, recorded right.

Forcing a mixed payment onto one line distorts your books. SwiftBooks Pro lets you split it across the right categories and VAT rates.
