One card slip was $94.20. $61.20 was ink for the studio. $33.00 was lunch for the team. In Pruvon, you split the slip. One charge, two accounts. Pruvon does not file tax returns and is not a CPA firm.

When one slip covers two kinds of spend

A mixed receipt is common. You buy paper and ink, then grab lunch at the same stop. The bank shows one charge. The slip shows two kinds of spend. If you file the whole amount under Office supplies, meals disappear into the wrong bucket. If you file everything as meals, supplies vanish. Pruvon works from bank data you already see. Split the receipt before you file so each piece lands in the right place. This is a viewing habit for cash that left the account—not tax advice, and Pruvon is not a CPA firm.

Office supplies and a meal can share one slip. Split the amounts before you file, then match each piece to the bank line.

What usually goes to Office supplies

  • Printer paper and copy paper rung up with lunch.

  • Sticky notes, binders, and file folders on the same ticket.

  • Batteries, cables, or other desk consumables mixed with food.

What usually goes to meals

  • Lunch purchased at the same checkout as supplies.

  • Bottled drinks and snack lines on the same slip.

  • Tips that apply only to the food portion.

Add the two sides and confirm they equal the bank charge. If tax is listed once for the whole ticket, allocate it with the lines it covers so the totals still reconcile. Small rounding differences happen; note them and move on. The point is a clean view of what left the account, not a perfect tax schedule. Keep software and equipment out of both buckets if they appear on the same slip—those need their own splits too.

Split before you file

  1. Read every line on the receipt before you touch the bank charge.

  2. Separate supplies dollars from meal dollars on paper first.

  3. Check that both amounts plus tax still equal the bank total.

  4. Attach the same receipt to both pieces so later review still shows the original slip.

Once both pieces are filed, the bank line still reads as one charge, but your categories show the real story: supplies in one place, meals in another. That split makes later review faster and keeps Office supplies free of food. Repeat the same pattern for any mixed slip—software with supplies, gear with meals, or three categories on one ticket. Pruvon is built around the bank data you already hold. Clear splits keep that view honest. This is not a substitute for a CPA firm, and it is not tax or legal advice—just a practical way to file what left the account.
