[GNC] Two invoices, two customers, one bank transfer

[Adrien Monteleone]

It won't work.

When you attempt to use the 'assign as payment' function from the 
context menu on an existing transaction, you get the pop-up to assign 
the payment, you must first choose a single Customer/Vendor. While you 
can apply the payment to more than one document, you can't apply it to 
more than one Customer/Vendor.

If you try this a second time, you'll simply be re-assigning the payment 
to the second customer/vendor and associated document(s).

That's a convenient way to correct an errant payment, but it precludes 
the OP's use case.

Note, you can have more than one AR/AP split in a payment already, 
that's what happens when you apply a single payment to multiple 
documents, but those documents can't currently be owned by separate 
customers/vendors. (That owner gets assigned as the 'Description' of the 
Transaction)

I'd think the non-GnuCash pen&paper method is to use an intermediary 
account.
