When working with bank feeds or imported bank statements, if a transaction hasn't been entered into MYOB Essentials, you can allocate it directly to one or more of your MYOB Essentials accounts. This means you won't have to waste time manually recording a transaction. If you need to, you can split the transaction between more than one account, or capture quantities against transactions for reporting purposes. If you've already entered a corresponding transaction in MYOB Essentials, you should match the transaction instead. See Matching bank transactions.

| Regularly make the same payments? You can set up rules to automatically allocate these to your MYOB Essentials accounts, saving you from manual data entry. |
Allocate a transaction to a single accountIf a transaction on the bank feed hasn’t been entered in MYOB Essentials, you can allocate it to your MYOB Essentials accounts. If you're not sure which accounts to allocate transactions to, consult your bookkeeper or accountant. To allocate to a single account, just click the Allocate me link in the Allocate or Match column then choose which account you want to allocate the transaction to. When you allocate a bank transaction, a matching transaction is created in MYOB Essentials. If you allocate a withdrawal, this will be a Spend Money transaction; if you allocate a deposit, this will be a Receive Money transaction.

On the Allocate tab, choose the accounts you want to allocate the transaction to, enter any quantities against the transaction, and enter the amount to allocate to each account.

| Entering quantities While in the Allocate view, you can enter quantities against transactions, which will then be reflected in the General ledger details report. This means that if you're an accountant who imports the General ledger details report into your practice software, quantities will also be included. |
When you’re done, click Save. The allocation account is shown in the list, next to the transaction details. If you chose multiple accounts, this will appear as Split across accounts.
