Split a line

It may be necessary to split the quantity of a line into smaller quantities in order to break expenses down on an invoice.

You can split an invoice line item into lines with smaller quantities by following these steps:

  1. Open a document and if it is not already selected, click on the Lines tab.

    The recognized lines are displayed in a table at the top of the tab and fields can be edited or added using the fields at the bottom of the tab.

  2. Select one line from that table that has a quantity that requires splitting.

    The Split Line button is now available.

  3. Click Split Line.

    The Split Line window is displayed.

  4. Enter a value into the Quantity for new line.

    The entered value must be less than the quantity of the selected line.

  5. Click Split.

    The selected line is split into two lines, each with a smaller quantity. The sum of the two quantities equals the quantity of the originally selected line.
