How to enter a transaction paid by two credit cards
In account for CARD-A, the transaction splits are
Item $100.00
[CARD-B] $-40.00
This correctly leaves a balance of $60 charges to CARD-A, but the $40 for [CARD-B] is listed as a payment to the card, not a charge to it.
Is there a way to record this correctly? I am using Quicken 2017 for Windows.
Thanks

What if you reverse the signs on the split amounts?

I would simply create two independent transactions, one in each credit card account, with no transfer.

Or record it as two separate transactions, one for the amount paid on each card, with "Remainder paid with Card B" or something similar in the Memos.

In Q2018 this is recorded correctly, if you really want to do it that way:The more I think about this, the more I think this is a bug. As Quicken records the transaction in the OP, I am getting a $100 item for $20. Quicken not only does not record the charge to CARD-B, it reverses it into a payment, making me richer by twice the amount charged to CARD-B. This is wrong.
And, no, it does work any better if I leave the minus sign off.
Card A has a split, $100 for Jacket or whatever you bought, $-80 transfer to card B
Card B has $80 charge, transfer to card A
I still contend this is the wrong way to enter this, you should make a $20 charge to Card A and $80 to B, with no splits.QWin Premier subscription0 -
Also when you are done entering or editing the split, remember to hit Enter or click on Save to record the transaction.The more I think about this, the more I think this is a bug.

I tested this in QW2016 and it works correctly. I started off in "Card A" with a $60 transaction categorized as "Clothing", clicked on split, changed the 60 on the top line to 100 which generated a second -40 line which I categorized as [Discover] (Card . Saved it and the Card B balance went up $40 as expected.

Yes how is it listed as a payment on card B? Is it in the Payment column or is the Credit card balance going down instead of up?pls,
could I trouble you to show us the same two images that splasher showed, with the transaction and split detail of Card A and the resulting Card B transaction? Be sure to include the Balance column in the image snapshots.I'm staying on Quicken 2013 Premier for Windows.
