The new 'Bill Split’ feature simplifies the allocation of recurring expenses like shipping or lease costs. It automatically divides bills and creates items based on

previously specified rules.

Open 'Bill split' through the 'Automation' button

Add rules for your contact

You can apply both types of rules together or separately.

Add Fixed Amount

  • Begin by specifying a fixed amount to be deducted from the bill's total.

  • This fixed amount is deducted before any percentage-based allocations are applied.

Add Percentage Amount

  • Specify percentages to distribute the remaining amount of the invoice after fixed allocations.

Remaining amount

  • Any amount not allocated by fixed or percentage rules is automatically added as a new line item and coded according to the supplier's default settings.
