If a credit card charge is entered as one total amount as charged on the expense paid on company card, but the vendor splits the transaction into two charges, there is no way to reconcile the expense on company card unless I go in and recreate two transactions. it would be nice to be able to apply the payment against the total to create less work.

Expenses - Company money transaction
We are using this feature for our employees that have company cards. They are entering their transactions that were paid on our credit card so that the expense can be reviewed and approved and reconciled to the actual charge that comes in. Problem is that when the airline, for example, splits a $500 charge into 2 transactions (the ticket cost of $400 and $100 for the seat), it hits the card with two transactions instead of the one $500 total that the employee entered. There is no way to split the payment against the expense! We then need to go back in and decline the approved entry by employee, edit it and create another entry for the seat cost for example. This is such a time waster. Is there any way to Split the bank feed payments against the submitted expense amount like we do with invoices? This would save time and aggravation when the vendor splits the transactions on the credit card.
In addition, is there a way to keep the Approved Expense Visable without having to go into ALL to try and locate it as it is waiting for the credit card transaction to hit the card account? Couldn't there be a line showing "company Paid Expenses" that we could click on to see the running list?!

Please update this so that we can properly reconcile (Split transactions) on one expense. When our employee uses our company credit card for example, they enter the expense so it is tied directly to the credit card as payment. BUT, when the transaction comes through as two parts (charge and perhaps a tip), the original full amount cannot be reconciled since the charges came through as two transactions. This is enabled in banking reconciliation, why is not enabled with the expenses so that I do not have to go back and ask employee to back out the full amount and divide expense into 2 separate transactions when the receipt clearly shows one total, not the broken down total. HELP! This should be available to save everyone time. CRITICAL need.

In Xero Expenses, there is no way to split payment options. For example, company dinner was paid with a corporate card, but there was a $10 voucher that was used, so the full amount was not charged to the corporate card. Similarly, if there is a refund or credit given back, there's no way to have a "negative" line item in Xero Expenses.

The only work-around I can see is to not use Xero Expenses at all, and just create a new bill and assign payments that way.

Bit of a shame as I'm trying to find reasons to continue using Xero Expenses.

Can we have the function to split a Xero Expenses transaction - spend money - added? For those situations where an Expense has been added by an employee as a single invoice into Xero Me from Company money, but the payee has taken the payment as two separate transactions from our bank account? This quite often occurs with ebay and amazon purchases.

When reconciling an expense claim using company money, be able to split the submission across more than one transaction from the bank statement. It is currently possible to do this for personal money expense claims, but not for company money claims. This means that when a user has purchased multiple instances of the same type of thing in one go, e.g. multiple tube tickets for others, they don't need to submit each identical transaction, and the total value of the purchases can be submitted and then split against the individual transactions listed in the bank statement.

It is unbelievable that this function doesn't exist. The expenses are so hard to track, search and assign when reconciling.
