Split payments are common: a customer pays what is on their phone and tops up the rest in cash. A till that only accepts one payment type forces a fudge that messes up the books.
Recording both parts against the same sale keeps the record honest, so your reporting and reconciliation still add up at the end of the day.

Can one sale have two payment types?
Yes. A single sale can be settled by more than one payment, so split bills reconcile cleanly against the one sale.
Does the eTIMS invoice still work?
Yes. However the customer pays, the sale is recorded once and matched to its KRA invoice.
