Enter a percentage between 0.0000% and 100.0000% of the main client's advances that will be distributed to the specified split matter. The total percentage for all split matters can exceed 100%; however, the percentage for an individual split matter cannot exceed 100%.

A popup calculator is available when editing this field. The "<" and ">" keys can be used to increase or decrease the percent one at a time.

Note: If another split matter has the Remainder option selected for advances, you will not be allowed to enter a percentage that makes the Total Advances figure exceed 100%.

Note: When the Perform Split Billing program is run, the units will be split using the percentages entered in the Advances % field for each split matter. When the total percentages assigned to the split matters are greater or less than 100%, the total units of the transactions resulting from the split will equal the total percentage applied to the units of the original transactions (i.e., the total units after the split will differ from the original value).

For example, let's say client 400.00 is the main client and is also set to receive 50% of the advances. Client 400.01 is set up as a split matter and is to receive 25% of the advances. Therefore, only 75% of the advances are allocated to a split matter. Client 400.00 has one transaction in work-in-process for 10 units with an amount of $100.00. After the Perform Split Billing program is run, client 400.00 will have one transaction with an amount of $50.00 (.50 x $100.00) and 5 units (50% of 10 units). Client 400.01 will have one transaction with an amount of $25.00 (.25 x $100.00) and 2.5 units (25% of 10 units). This gives us a total of 7.5 units, or 75% of the original 10 units.
