If your finance team have given you permission to edit expenses before approving, you will have the option to split an expense from the Awaiting Approval section in the Approval area.
Note: Purchase type expenses are the only type of expenses that have the split function option. The split function is not available for personal car mileage, company car mileage and time expenses.
Follow the steps below to split a purchase expense:
1. Click on the expense you wish to split and select the Split button.
2. Decide from the following options how you would like to split the expense:
Click +Add Split to manually create the Split.
Click +Auto Split to allow the system to split the original expense amount evenly for you, based on the number of Splits entered.
+Add Split
If you clicked +Add Split, follow these steps:
1. Click on Split 1, check the split details are correct and edit the split amount accordingly.
2. Click on Split 2 and complete the split expense details as required.
3. Click +Add Split if another split is required.

Note: The total split expense amounts must match the original expense amount at all times. If a split expense has been deleted, the amounts of the remaining splits will need to be edited. Each split will maintain its own history, independently of the original expense.
5. Click Create and the expense will be split based on the total splits added and expense details entered.
