Use the Split Deposit dialog to separate a single deposit amount appearing in the Bank Reconciliation window into two or more individual deposits as they actually appear on the bank statement.

Choose Tasks > Bank Reconciliation. In the Bank Reconciliation window, click the Deposits and Other Credits tab. In the deposits grid, click the row button for a deposit and then choose Split Deposit from the Edit menu or from the F3 or right-click context menu.

In the Individual Deposits grid of the Split Deposit dialog, enter the first individual deposit amount and then press TAB to move to the next line of the grid. Continue entering individual deposits until the amount remaining is zero, and then press OK to save the information and return to the Deposits and Other Credits tab in the Bank Reconciliation window. The individual deposits are now listed and can be cleared individually.

Special information

  • The Split Deposit dialog facilitates the bank reconciliation only. The split deposit amounts are not written to the general ledger.
  • The date and description for each individual deposit are identical to those for the original deposit.
  • After a deposit has been split, only the split amounts appear on the Deposits and Other Credits tab in the Bank Reconciliation window. The original deposit no longer appears.
  • If you select a deposit that has already been split and then choose the Split Deposit command, the Split Deposit dialog displays the original deposit amount as the deposit total and all of the splits from that original deposit.
  • The split deposit option is not accessible for a deposit originally recorded while the option Display multiple distributions to the checkbook GL account in a single transaction separately was marked on the Bank Reconciliation Options dialog.
  • If you choose the Rebuild Uncleared Transactions command, the split deposits for the current checkbook are replaced by the original deposit amount minus any amount(s) from the original deposit already cleared on a prior bank statement.
