Why can’t I split an income transaction?

If you have set up a lease for a tenant in SimplifyEm Property Management Software, the system does not allow you to split rent transactions. This is because rent payments are typically tied directly to a specific lease and are associated with specific months or periods covered by the lease agreement.

Instead of splitting the rent transaction, SimplifyEm allows you to allocate the rent payment to the appropriate month or period for which it was received. This ensures that rent payments are accurately tracked and applied to the correct month based on your lease setup. By allocating rent payments in this way, the software can maintain accurate financial records and provide clear reports on rent collected over time.

If you need to adjust how rent is recorded or allocated, you can modify the month or period the rent payment covers rather than attempting to split the transaction. For more detailed information on how SimplifyEm handles rent tracking, refer to the guide “How does SimplifyEm.com Property Management Software track my rents?”
This method keeps the rent records organized and aligned with your tenant’s lease terms while preventing any inconsistencies that could arise from splitting the rent.
