Creating Splits
How to split payouts across multiple categories or firms
Sometimes a single payout needs to be split across multiple prop firms or categories. PropFlow makes this easy.
When to Use Splits
Common scenarios for splitting:
- Multiple firms, one deposit: You received payouts from several firms in one bank transfer
- Partial categorization: Part of a payout is profit, part is a refund
- Tax purposes: Separating business and personal portions
How to Create a Split
- Navigate to the Transactions page
- Find the payout transaction you want to split
- Click on the transaction to open the details panel
- Click the Split button
- In the split dialog:
- Select a prop firm for each portion from the dropdown
- Enter the dollar amount for each portion
- Click Add Split to add more rows (minimum 2 required)
- The total must equal the original transaction amount exactly
- Click Save Split when the amounts balance
Only payout transactions (positive amounts) can be split. Expenses cannot be split.
You cannot assign the same firm to multiple splits within the same transaction.
Split Rules
- Minimum of 2 split portions required
- The total of all splits must equal the original transaction amount exactly
- Each split portion must have a different firm assigned (no duplicates)
- The original transaction will show with "Split" status
- Split transactions appear individually in dashboard analytics by firm
Managing Splits
Viewing Splits

Editing Splits

Best Practices
