Payment Distribution Excludes Products

Is this a bug or by design:

When posting payments using Fees>Payments, one is allowed to distribute paid amount to different services that have been charged via fee sheet. However, any products sold e. drugs dispensed and billed are not available for distribution. This is not the case when using Fees>Billing>EOBs. The EOBs screen displays all services and products.

Steps to reproduce this error:

1. Create new visit for new or existing patient and, using Fee Sheet, charge him for several services including at least one product e.g a drug.

2. Open Fees>Payments, fill required fields using the new patient we have just billed and save.

3. When asked to allocate, click OK.

4. At least on my system, OEMR 4.0 xampp 1.7.3 windows 7, the products are not listed along with the services for distribution of available amount.

While at it, within EOBs, what maneuver do you guys use to allocate prepayments or plain payments made at checkout to reflect amounts paid for eac service/product? do you just waive the entire payment and re-enter it attaching to the services?

One more thing: Payments posted via EOBs do not appear on Superbill. This creates a false impression that these payments have not yet been made.
