A mixed receipt or payment can contain more than one economic source or use. ASC 230-10-45-22 sets an ordered analysis: apply specific guidance first, identify supported components next, and classify each component according to its nature.
Identify components from evidence
Read the contract, invoice, settlement statement, claim file, valuation, and bank record together. Name each possible source or use and the evidence that supports its amount. A single check or wire does not force a single section. For example, an insurance settlement may compensate both destroyed equipment and lost operating income. If the claim file supports the two amounts, analyze them separately.
Separability is an evidence question. It is not a preference for more lines. Do not divide a lump sum evenly, apply an unsupported percentage, or use an income-statement allocation merely to produce components. Record the missing fact and keep the classification open when the split would be invented.
Classify each supported source or use
After separation, apply the guidance and underlying nature to each component. Retain one transaction ID so the parts still reconcile to the bank amount. Document the section, authority, preparer, reviewer, and unresolved issue for each row.
Only an inseparable residual reaches the predominance analysis in ASC 230-10-45-22A. That last step cannot replace available component evidence.
