Paycheck splits and matching

[doug foskey]

Not sure if this is what you meant: but I set up a Periodical payment for my 
Pay. I split it into various accounts, & it is editable before you pass the 
final entry screen (ie when the payment is ready to be posted, it is editable 
before it is entered into the account(s). My pay is mainly the same, but 
about 1 pay in 4 changes, so is edited. (If the norm changes, edit the 
periodical payment under periodical payments)

regards Doug.
