"Explaining" a single bank statement import entry, needing to be split into more than 3 transactions

Question asked by Mario Coelho 6 years ago

How do I "explain" an imported bank statement entry when I need to split it into more than 3 entries - the multiple transaction facility won't allow more than 3 - I lose what I captured when I try to enter a 4th - did it umpteen times ! what am i doing wrong ? Thanks for the help

Hi Mario,

Are you able to try and explain the entry with the Transaction tab and let me know if the problem persists please?

Hi - Thanks for the response .. yes tried using the multiple items tan, and then the transaction tab - I think I worked it out though, using the multiple tab - if during "explaining" you go over the amount , because there are negatives still to be applied , it just wont allow you to carry on. To recap, I have a number that included multiple income items , less multiple expense items, which I need to apply to different accounts/projects. What I have just worked out is that, using the multiple items tab, you need to capture the expenses first (ie negative amounts), then the income , so at no point does the running balance go over the amount you are trying to explain. This has worked. Not great from Clearbooks - a warning message/running balance would have been sufficient , or assessment only after I have finished ALL the entries. Not just stop allowing me to capture. Thanks for the help and I hope this above explanation helps others - (I am very new to Clearbooks so maybe this is just common knowledge, but its certainly not intuitive by today's standards) - Thanks
