Can I enter two/split payment methods for one invoice?

[HeatherD]

Hello. We’re still getting set up with QF and running it in tandem with our old accounting system while we (I) learn the ropes.

I’ve seen a question from 5yrs ago that I have too, but I can’t really decode the answer and wonder if it’s just that everything’s been upgraded out of all recognition since then. It goes like this:

an eBay purchase has been paid for in part from PayPal balance, in part by bank account funds. When I manually set up the matching invoice in QF I can enter only one payment source and method, eg from bank account via PayPal.

Is there any way of adding a second payment method, or am I coming at this from completely the wrong angle? Should be marking bank and PayPal payments to the invoice rather than manually marking up the invoice with the payments? I haven’t yet really bolted these parts together as it’s early days.

Thank you.

You can only enter one payment with the “paid” tickbox at the bottom of the screen when you’re initially entering the purchase, but once you have saved it and gone to the “preview” screen you can “log payment” from there as many times as you need to pay it all off.

Though in this case I’d personally make it paid in full from the PayPal holding account and then when the top up payment leaves your current account tag that as a bank transfer to PayPal to balance things up.

Thanks Ian for both suggestions, that’s smashing. I’ll put them into practice today.
