I would be really useful to split transactions but retain the original untouched entry too. This can be done of course offline accounts etc - but I am thinking of the cleanest solution.
For example, I have just paid a deposit for an airbnb trip amongst friends on my Amex. It would be much cleaner and traceable if it could stay in the same account and be split as follows:
1,000.00 - Original Transaction
Split as:
| CATEGORY | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| -1,000.00 | ORIGINAL TRANSACTION | TRANSFER | |
| +1,000.00 | SPLIT | TRANSFER | |
| -100.00 | SPLIT | HOLIDAY | Me |
| -100.00 | SPLIT | TRANSFER | Person 1 |
| -100.00 | SPLIT | TRANSFER | Person 2 |
| -100.00 | SPLIT | TRANSFER | Person 3 |
| -100.00 | SPLIT | TRANSFER | Person 4 |
| -100.00 | SPLIT | TRANSFER | Person 5 |
| -100.00 | SPLIT | TRANSFER | Person 6 |
| -100.00 | SPLIT | TRANSFER | Person 7 |
| -100.00 | SPLIT | TRANSFER | Person 8 |
| -100.00 | SPLIT | TRANSFER | Person 9 |
This would me that when 100.00 comes in from person 1-9 I can categorise their income as transfer too but the original tranaction integrity remains.
