Charging sale to multiple parties

[Khurram Shahzad]

Hi all,

At our hospital we treat some patients whose medical expense is partially paid by the Insurance Company. For example, a patient visited a consultant and we charge $100 as Consultation Fee. Now 40% of this fee is paid by the patient and remaining 60% is to be paid by the insurance company. Thus, we want to have one sale and multiple invoices to different parties. Please advise how can we cater this scenario.

I was thinking of adding two lines in Sale being:
40% Consultation Fee to be paid by patient: $40
60% consultation Fee to be paid by insurance company: $60

Now, if I call process() method of sale class, it will generate one invoice referring to both sale lines. Is there any way to get two different invoices generated - one for each sale line?

Best Regards,
Khurram.

But why making a sale? If I understand correctly, you are invoicing
services which have already been delivered and not quotation or
negotiation will happen. So it will be simpler to just create directly
the invoices for each parties.

The idea is good. But, how can we keep track/record that these multiple invoices were generated against one sale?

I do not understand. I just tell that you should probably not use a
sale.
