How Do I Report Accrued Expenses Splits with Support/Oppose Memo?
In the event an accrued expense (like a credit card) is used to pay for a direct or inkind contribution made to another Candidate / Committee, you can add the Support/Oppose Memo to either the main Accrued Expense, or to an individual split.
Adding Support/Oppose Memos to the Accrued Expense
- Select Add Transaction under the Accounting tab
- Choose Accrued Expense in the Type field
- Complete the fields with the Vendor / Credit Card Company as the Entity
- If applicable, click Specify Splits and add subvendors as the Entity
- Click on Add Another if there is more than one subvendor
- Click on Specify Support/Oppose, and type in the name of Candidate or Ballot Measure (not the committee) or PAC/Party you are supporting or opposing. Complete the rest of the fields with the necessary information, including any Tags, if needed
- Click on Add Another if there is more than one Candidate/Ballot/Committee
- After all the applicable fields have been completed, click Save, Save & Close or Save & New, as appropriate
Adding Support/Oppose Memos to Splits of an Accrued Expense
- If you have not added the accrued expense and corresponding split(s), enter those first by following Steps 1-5 above, and save the transaction.
- Navigate to the Entity record of the Split Entity
- Click on the appropriate Accrued Expense Split
- Click on Specify Support/Oppose, and type in the name of Candidate or Ballot Measure (not the committee) or PAC/Party you are supporting or opposing. Complete the rest of the fields with the necessary information, including any Tags, if needed
- Click on Add Another if there is more than one Candidate/Ballot/Committee
- After all the applicable fields have been completed, click Update Accrued Expense
