In Bkper, each transaction must have one “from” account and one “to” account, meaning you cannot directly split a transaction between multiple origin or destination accounts.

Example: Splitting a Credit Card Purchase

Imagine you make a $100 purchase at a Supplier using a Credit Card, where $60 is for Office Materials and $40 is for a Maintenance Service. Since a transaction can only have one “from” and one “to” account, you record this in two steps:

1. Record the payment to the supplier:

100 Credit Card >> Supplier (records the total expense of $100)

2. Split the expenses using the Supplier account:

• Supplier → Office Materials ($60)

• Supplier → Service Fees ($40)

This method ensures that the Credit Card’s running balance matches its statement, Expenses and Costs are properly categorized, and any outstanding payables are easily identifiable (e.g., a supplier with a 0.00 balance), all while maintaining Bkper’s transaction structure.

Of course this can also be applied to receivables or any other situation with multiple origin or destination accounts.
