In short
Open the booking (Edit booking) and tap Split. The amount, date and account stay as the bank booked them.
Steps
The Remainder with its category is at the top; below it you add new parts.
Another part adds a row. Split equally spreads the amount across the existing rows.
Update saves the parts. You need at least two parts.
Back leaves the split without saving.
What applies afterwards
- The inbox shows each part as its own row. The bank amount isn't counted twice.
- Undo split puts the remainder's category back on the whole booking. Deleting removes the booking with all its parts.
- Fetching and file import won't create the same bank payment again.
- Payee rules never overwrite a split booking.
Limits
Income and linked transfers can't be split. On the Family plan, under All, Split only appears on your own bookings. It isn't a way to split costs between people.
