How to accrue a bill with a split amount

Learn how to accrue a bill with split amounts so each part of the bill can be accrued individually.

Before you start

If a bill needs to be accrued in different ways – for example with different categories or periods – you have to split the bill into several lines first.

The bill must be fully split before you create the accrual. Split lines cannot be created or edited as part of the accrual.

How to do it

  1. Open the bill you want to accrue.

  2. Check that the bill is split into the lines you want.

  3. Click (...) and select Accrue.

  4. For each split line, enter:

    • Period start

    • Number of months

    • Category

  5. Check that the details are correct for each split line.

  6. Click Save accrual.

Note

Each split line is created as its own accrual.

That means each accrual has its own:

  • period schedule

  • category

  • accrued amount

  • remaining amount

The individual accruals are managed independently of each other. You can therefore change or reverse one accrual without necessarily affecting the others. Once a split line has been accrued, it can no longer be edited. If you need to change an accrued split line, you have to reverse the accrual first, after which the split line can be changed.

Example

A bill is split into two lines:

  • A software subscription of DKK 9,000 excl. VAT, to be accrued over 12 months.

  • An implementation service of DKK 3,000 excl. VAT, to be accrued over 3 months.

Each line is created as its own accrual and follows its own period schedule.
