A check usually is for one specific expense item. However, occasionally checks are written to cover more than one type of expense (e.g., and invoice for raw material purchased and freight paid on the same check. The purchase should be charged to one account and the freight to another.) Split the check by charging the amount of each item to its respective account number. Use the same check number for each Line Item. After all Line Items are entered the total of the Line Items should equal the total amount of the check. The total of the Line Items will be used to update (reduce) the general ledger bank account when the batch is posted.
