Question

How can I unsplit transactions into individual expenses ?

when recording an expense, after I enter the name of the supplier, all the previous entries are shown and I simply add the new entry (convienent since I see the running total). What happens is a new record is created with all previous entries + the new one. This repeats each time I enter a new expense for the same supplier. how can I disable this feature and undo the previous splits created ?

The splitting of transactions happens because QuickBooks is grouping expenses for the same supplier when you add new entries, almahali. To unsplit these transactions, locate the split transaction in the Expenses tab.

 

Once opened, delete the individual split lines under the transaction details. Then, save the edited transaction with only one line remaining.

 

Recreate the new individual expense transactions for each category or amount that was previously part of the split. This ensures every expense is recorded as a separate transaction rather than grouped.

 

To prevent this from happening in the future, avoid modifying existing expense transactions by adding new lines to them. Instead, always create a new expense for each purchase or payment. Check the Recurring Transactions section to ensure no recurring template is combining expenses unintentionally. Delete or edit these if necessary.
