How to Split Transactions in Billroo When Someone Pays You Back

Splitting transactions in Billroo is easy and ensures your budget accurately reflects reimbursements from friends or family. If you paid for something and later received your money back, follow the steps below to categorize it properly in Billroo.

• You paid $100 for a meal categorised under "Eating Out."

• Your friend reimburses you $50.

1. Record the Initial Expense:

   • When you spend $100 on a meal, categorise it under "Eating Out."

2. Record the Repayment:

   • When your friend pays you back $50, log this as an incoming transaction.

   • Assign it to the "Eating Out" category (the same as the original expense).

3. Verify Your Budget Impact:

   • Since both transactions fall under "Eating Out," Billroo will sum the positive and negative values.

   • Your total "Eating Out" expense will now reflect $50 instead of $100.

• Always categorise repayments under the same category as the initial expense for accurate budget tracking.

• If multiple people reimburse you, log each incoming payment separately to match the breakdown.

• You can add a note to the repayment transaction to specify who paid you back.
