Not every bank transaction can be assigned to a single account. Batch transfers, payments affecting several cost centres or amounts with different tax rates often mean manual rework in traditional bookkeeping. 1Tool offers split bookings for exactly these cases.
One booking, several line items
1Tool lets you split a single bank transaction into several line items. Each line item gets its own account, its own tax code and its own cost centre. This way, a batch transfer that affects several cost centres can be split correctly without having to artificially break the underlying bank transaction into several records.
Typical use cases
- Collective invoices from a supplier that bundle several services with different tax rates
- Payments that need to be allocated to several cost centres or departments
- Partial payments where an amount is split across different documents or accounts
In all of these cases there is no need for artificially split bookings or subsequent corrections – the split is made directly on the original bank transaction.
Bulk editing for several bookings at once
In addition to splitting individual bookings, 1Tool also offers bulk editing, which lets you adjust several bookings at once instead of one by one. If, for example, you notice after an import that a whole group of bookings needs the same account or the same cost centre, you don't have to open each line separately – you can apply the change to the selected bookings in a single step. That saves a great deal of manual clicking, especially with larger volumes of bookings.
