Split hotel charge between two expense reports

[JHeath22]

Hi,

My boss booked a hotel and has told me to charge half of the anoint to one expense report and the other half to another expense report. 

How do I go about doing this?

Thanks

@JHeath22 this depends...how did you pay for the expense? On a company card or a personal card? If on a company card, does your company import your card expenses? If so, then unless you told the hotel to split the charge into two transactions, you won't be able to split the charge between two reports. 

If you paid on a personal card, then no problem. Create an Out of Pocket/Cash expense for Hotel on one report putting in half the amount. Do the same thing on a whole separate report. You'll likely only have one receipt, but you as long as you have the receipt image saved on your computer or device, you can attach the same image to two different entries, even if they are on two different reports.

Thanks for this Kevin. He paid for it on his corporate card, so understood I won't be able to split that but good to know with any personal charges going forward, can be split.

Thank you!

Sounds like they're trying to work around a policy.
