How do I enter a purchase that uses more than one payment source? For example, credit card and cash? or credit card and gift card?
Good morning dws512!
In a case like this, what I usually end up doing is setting up the original purchase as a Payable Charge. In your transaction entry screen, change the Transaction Type to Payable Charge, rather than Withdrawal. Enter the invoice as you normally would at this point. The only difference is that you are not assigning a bank account, since there is no cash effect at this point in time.
Once the invoice has been successfully entered, you can then work on your two payment methods. Using your first example of a cash/credit card mix, do a withdrawal from your bank account, for the amount that was paid from the bank. Once you get down to your Type, change it to PP (Payable Payment), and select the supplier the invoice was assigned to. You will be brought to a screen where you will see the original invoice listed. On the right side, click on the checkbox for the invoice, and click on OK. This will apply a partial payment to that invoice. Click on Record.
Now, you can do a second withdrawal from your credit card this time. Treat it the same way as you did with the first transaction, just with the different bank account/credit card. Ideally, all that should be left outstanding on the original invoice is the amount you are going to be paying with this secondary payment method. You will still us PP as your type, select the supplier, and put a checkmark in the box to the right of the outstanding invoice. Click on Record when you are done.
This should take the amount owing to zero, and hopefully accomplish what you are looking to record in the books!
I hope this helps!
