Expense Split

This page is accessed by selecting the 'Split' line command from an Expense line in Entry or Approval to enter, view or edit expense amounts split across multiple financial or management reporting elements.  The entry fields displayed and associated descriptions are the same as those at the line level for Expense Sheet entry.  Field values that are not available to edit for data integrity reasons, will be displayed as read only (i.e. Date, Currency).  When Split lines have been used to allocate expense amounts, the split lines will become the details of record for the expense and used for integration purposes.

The Split option will only be available when Expense is integrated directly to Accounts Payable and the 'Enable Advanced Tax' System Setting has been disabled.  Expense Split functionality is not available for the Dynamics GP Project Accounting interface.

Distribute

This option is available to easily distribute expense amounts across multiple split lines based on a relative quantity.  When clicked, the price on each split line will be updated based on the line quantity compared to the total quantities entered and calculated as [Total Line Amount] / [Total Split Quantities].  If the total line amount does not round evenly based on the calculation, the remainder will be automatically assigned to the first available split line.

 

Example for an Expense Line Amount of $24 where;

Split Line 1 Quantity = 2

Split Line 2 Quantity = 1

Split Line 3 Quantity = 3

 

Clicking the Distribute button will update the Price for each split line to $4 (24/6) resulting in the following amount assignments adding up to the $24 line total;

Split Line 1 = $8 (24 / 6 x 2)

Split Line 2 = $4 (24 / 6 x 1)

Split Line 3 = $12 (24 / 6 x 3)

Save & Close

Clicking this option will validate all information entered and close the page, returning the user to the Expense Sheet entry page.  If the total amounts entered for all lines do not equal the original expense amount, an error will be presented that the 'Split Amount does not equal Line Amount' and the user will not be permitted to close the page until the unassigned amount is equal to zero.
