# Split deduction lines

You can split a deduction line in two if you want to post different portions of the deduction amount to different accounts.

## Steps

1. In the search box, enter **Cash Receipt Journals**, and then choose the related link.
2. Select the relevant journal line.
3. On the **Actions** tab, in the **Functions** group, choose **Deduction Management**. The **Payment Application** page appears.
4. On the **Deduction Lines** FastTab, select the deduction line you want to split.
5. Choose **Line**, and then choose **Split Line**.
6. On the **Split Deduction Line** page, enter a value in the new amount field for either the current line or the new line. The remaining deduction amount is automatically entered in the other new amount field.
7. Choose **OK**.

You can continue to split deduction lines in this manner if you need to post deductions to additional accounts.
