Buy nowIs it possible to have two payment methods for one sales receipt? For example, customer pays with cash and credit card. I saw the answer for the Online version but it doesn't quite work in Desktop.

@AK1215 RE: Is it possible to have two payment methods for one sales receipt?
Yes, it is possible. When you do so, QuickBooks even puts up a nice message that says you don't need to - unless you want to include multiple payment methods. That Intuit reps do not know this is about their own product is both amusing and informs us all about the dismal state of training at Intuit.
To do this, create and use one or more "Payment" type sales items. As you create the item you can specify the type of payment it is, such as cash, credit card, or check.
Then use the payment item on the table of the Sales Receipt:
Above, I'm creating a Sales Receipt with three payment methods: Visa, Cash, and Check. You can actually enter as many payments as you want.
Currently, recording a single sales receipt with multiple payment methods is unavailable in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), AK1215. I can provide you with an alternative way on how you can achieve your goal within the program.
As a workaround, you can create service products for both cash and credit card payments and select your bank account or undeposited funds under the Income account based on where you want to deposit. Here's how:

In addition, you can utilize the Reports option to keep track of customers who still have an outstanding balance. Check out this article for more details: Understand reports.

That's nonsense. It has been possible to include multiple payment methods on a Sales Receipt in QuickBooks Desktop since QuickBooks Desktop was launched in the last century. Of course, because after all, we're not dealing with poor, feeble QuickBooks Online.
Why do I know this when you, the Intuit employee and QuickBooks expert here offering your advice to others, do not?

@BigRedConsulting THANK YOU!!!! This is solution huge for me! Thank you for explaining it clearly and the screenshots certainly helped. I have set up the payment methods and done a test sales receipt and it does EXACTLY what i need it to do! I have done work-arounds for years on this issue and they are becoming more complicated. This certainly streamlines the process.
