Greetings, @Lisa2803. In QuickBooks Online (QBO), you can only split transactions if the payees are the same. Since your payment covers the owner’s withdrawal and supplier purchases, you’ll have to manually enter two transactions using a check or expense. Here’s how: Go to +Create and select Check or Expense.Select a payee and enter the appropriate bank account.Ensure that the dates are correct.Enter a category and the amount.Add a memo as needed and click Save and Close. Once done, we can now match them to the downloaded payment to avoid duplicates. We’re always here to help you if you have any other concerns.
