Split Transactions on a single cheque
Posted: 18 April 2011, 13:56
I was just wondering what the best way to handling split transactions. Very often I will write a cheque for over the amount and get some cash in return. For example, I might write a check to a store for $97.00. $47 of that is for food. $50 is cash back to be transferred to my Cash Account. On my month end banks statement, however, it will show cheque #xxxx for $97.00. It looks like I am going to have to make a double entry in order to transfer cash to my cash account. The problem is, of course, that my bank statement will not show $47 & $50 but $97.00
Am I correct in that there is no other way to show this in my checking account?
