You can apply split rules either automatically or manually. Automatic assignment allows you to apply rules based on bank transaction codes. You can also search for specific rules to manage foreign credit transfers, returned direct debits, or multi-account transactions.

To automatically assign a split rule to a bank transaction code rule

Assign a split rule to a bank transaction code to automatically apply it to specific transactions, such as foreign credit transfers, returned direct debits, or fee-based transactions.

To assign a default split rule to a bank transaction code

To assign a default split rule to a bank transaction code:

  1. On the Bank Transaction Code Rules page, select the relevant line.
  2. In the Split Rule Code column, enter the code of the rule you want to assign.
  3. Run automatic matching to apply the changes.

To assign a split rule based on a return reason code

You can assign specific split rules for Direct Debit returns based on the Return Reason Code. This ensures returned transactions are allocated automatically.

To assign a split rule based on a return reason code:

  1. On the Bank Transaction Code Rules page, select the relevant line and on the action bar, click Return Reason Split Rules.
  2. On the Return Reason Split Rule Mapping page, navigate to the Return Reason Code field to select the reason you want to assign a split rule to.
  3. In the Split Rule Code field, select the corresponding split rule that should be applied. If a Bank Acc. Reconciliation Line contains a return reason, the system applies the mapped split rule. If no mapping exists or if the return reason code is not found, the default split rule on the Bank Transaction Code Rule is applied.
  4. Run automatic matching to apply the mappings.

To automatically assign a split rule to search rule

Assign a split rule to a search rule when the transaction amount needs to be divided across multiple accounts.

To apply a split rule automatically by assigning it to a search rule:

  1. On the Search Rule page, select the relevant rule and in the Split Rule Code column, enter the code of the rule you want to assign.
  2. Make sure to invoke the automatic matching after completing these steps to ensure the changes take effect.
