Hello, I can’t seem to find an answer to my question here. I went to the grocery store and had a $230 bill. I used my bank account for $200 of the payment and cash for $30. How do I record multiple payment methods in one transaction? It doesn’t happen often but I like to get rid of cash in my wallet when it’s there!
You record the $230 against the bank account and then do an Account Transfer to move the $30 from Cash account to Bank account. Two separate transactions.
Alternately you could record two transactions for your groceries to describe exactly how you paid, but there’s currently no function to split a payment method in one transaction the way you can split expenses across envelopes.
Thank you!
Thank you!!
I thought more about this, and I think I would do the same thing I said above but in the other direction. I would record the $230 expense to Cash account, and then transfer $200 from Bank to Cash. That way there will be a $200 withdrawal from Bank account in your ledger that will match the $200 debit on your bank statement so you can reconcile.
