How do I split a booking across several categories?

In short

Open the booking (Edit booking) and tap Split. The amount, date and account stay as the bank booked them.

Steps

  1. The Remainder with its category is at the top; below it you add new parts.

  2. Another part adds a row. Split equally spreads the amount across the existing rows.

  3. Update saves the parts. You need at least two parts.

  4. 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.
