editing a previous payment and split it into 4 accounts

Hello there, guod44. Let me help you edit a previous payment and split it into different accounts in your QuickBooks Online.

To begin with, could you clarify whether the transaction you want to split into four accounts is a payment you made, such as a check or expense, or a bank deposit (money received)? The process depends on which type of transaction we're dealing with, so knowing this will help me give you the most precise and helpful instructions.

If it's an expense or check, please follow these steps to edit the transaction:

1. Navigate to the Expenses tab in the left panel and select Expenses.
2. Locate the transaction you wish to modify.
3. Click on View/Edit.
4. In the Category details section, add lines for each account and specify an amount for each.
5. Ensure the total of all splits equals the original transaction amount.
6. Add memos or descriptions for each if needed.
7. Click Save and close.

However, if it's a bank deposit, here's how to modify it:

1. In the left panel, click Transaction and choose Charts of accounts.
2. Select View register for the appropriate account.
3. Find the deposit you want to edit and click on it.
4. Click the Edit button, and you'll be routed to the Bank deposit screen.
5. In the Account field, add lines for each account and specify an amount for each.
6. Ensure the total of all splits equals the original transaction amount.
7. Once done, click Save and close.

Before making any changes, verify if the transaction is reconciled. If it is, I recommend consulting your accountant before proceeding, as adjustments may affect your reconciled books.
