1 min read

The situation

Five people at lunch. You're expensing yours, but two colleagues are paying out of pocket. You need clear records—and you need to collect from the people who owe you.

The solution

Scan the check. Assign your items to yourself (for the expense report). Assign their items to them. Send requests only to the people who need to pay you back.

  1. 1 Scan the check splitty reads every item. Your client lunch is clearly separated from personal orders.
  2. 2 Assign items by person Your $32 comes from the company. Their $18 and $24 come from them. Crystal clear.
  3. 3 Send requests to colleagues Only request from the people paying out of pocket. Your expense is your expense.
  4. 4 Screenshot for records The split summary shows exactly what you paid. Attach it to your expense report.

Pro tips

  • If everyone's expensing different amounts, assign everything clearly and let each person screenshot their share
  • Shared appetizers? Mark them as split among whoever should claim them
  • Tax and tip are distributed proportionally—your expense report stays accurate
