Default date and splitting payments

Just started the trial and very impressed so far.

A few questions. I'm going back June 08 - is there any way to lock the date instead of having to use the calendar to move back for each entry.

Split payment. Say to a Company Card. One amount will appear on bank statement but could be split amongst many suppliers or more importantly types of expense. Is there any way to break the total down but still have the total to reconcile with bank statement.

Thanks

Hi David,

Thanks for your feedback - we're glad to hear you like the software.

The default date for transactions is taken from your computer's date - so you would need to change the date/time on your computer.

You can split a Money Paid Out transaction by allocating to more than one expense account. However, if you have more than one supplier you will need to create multiple transactions.

Regards,

David - the way to breakdown company card payments to the appropriate suppliers and to the appropriate accounts is as follows:
Take your credit card statement and post each transaction using the Money Paid Out screen. Enter the Supplier in the 'Paid to' Box, then enter Date, Amount as normal. Enter your specific credit card account into the 'Paid from Account' (eg Visa or Mastercard which you should set up as a new Liability account under the Credit Card account).
This should achieve what you are looking for.
