How do I split connected bank transactions when I am reviewing and categorising them ?

Hi, I can see how to create split transactions when you enter transactions manually but I can't see the split transaction option when I am categorising the transactions in my connected bank accounts.
How do I do this? Eg I have an income item that needs to be split into gst and non gst. I also have the same with an expense item.   Thanks

  • Here’s how you can split an expense in Solo:

     

    If you tap on the transaction in Review Transactions, it’ll try to categorise it automatically but you can’t split it from there.

     

    Here’s the workaround:

    1. Head to the Home screen, then tap Expenses and open the Transaction List.
    2. Find the transaction you want to split and tap Edit.
    3. Change the expense type from Business to Split, and add your line items.

     

    For example, if you spent $100 at Bunnings: $25 was personal, and $75 was for paint you’d add:
    ✅ Line 1: $25 as Personal
    ✅ Line 2: $75 as Business (with a description)

     

    You can also adjust the GST if part of the expense did not incur GST.

    I think the process/screens must have changed.

    I understand how Solo works now, if you're needing to split a transaction between Personal and Business, you'll first want to create an expense record that splits the expense and then match the transaction to that expense record.

    I don't think this (splitting) can be done by categorising the transaction - with the caveat that my test accounts don't have Connected Accounts syncing transaction data with Solo, so I'm not able to check this out end-to-end.

    I hope I've understood your question properly, let me know if I'm off the mark 🤝

    Yes, Jared, you understood.

     

    I realised I could split after categorising, but I need to see if amending the categorised expense uncategorised it (I think it might).

     

    If so, recurring or templated expenses would be great – I split my mobile, internet, and a few other IT bills monthly.
