Payment Method split between two types (cash & credit)

[Former Member]

I am looking for a way of splitting a customers payment between two methods in one sales order. For example, a customer purchases an item valued at $100. He wants to pay with $50 cash and put $50 on a credit card. Currently the payment method resides in the header of the sales order and only one can be selected. Is it possible to create a multi selection option, or to apply the payment method at the line item level?

Technically it should be possible to maintain a different payment term on the line item level in the sales documents. The field is stored in VBKD table and is also available at the line item level (although it's grayed out).

Such items would be split into 2 invoices though because it's not possible to have one invoice with two different payment terms.

Also if the payment method does not change the payment due date and other condition, then I wouldn't really bother at all. It's possible to post 2 partial payments against one invoice in FI, so why should SD side be even concerned about the methods? Unless, of course, there's something you're not telling...
