Create rules to automatically classify incoming expenses

Updated on

Rules tell darwin.Cloud how to classify expense that come in automatically from streaming bank transactions and credit card charges

Two types of rules you can create to accurately classify incoming expenses are:  Single line rules and Multi line rules.  Below is an explanation of when you should use each type of rule.

Single line rule

Create a single line rule whenever you have an incoming expense that is always charged to just one GL account and just one office.  When you create this type of rule, the full amount of an incoming charge will be expensed to the GL account and the office you have specified in the rule

Multi line rule

A multi line rule lets you allocate an incoming expense to multiple GL accounts and multiple offices.  When creating the rule, you create multiple lines of expense allocation specifications.  On each line you choose a GL account and an office - and you list what percentage of the bill should be charged to that GL account and office

You can have an unlimited number of lines of expense allocations in this type of rule.  The only limitation is that all of the lines percentages must total up to 100%.
