Is it possible to partially Invoice a cost in AR without splitting the transaction line?

Hi everyone,

I have a situation where we would like to partially bill a cost without splitting the transaction line. The scenario would be:
There is an AP Invoice for $1000
We would like to generate AR Invoice for $500 of the transaction, and hold the other $500 for the next billing cycle.

I know that this can be done by splitting the transaction, and applying a hold on one of the lines. But can it be done directly in AR or without splitting the transaction?

Thanks,
Zoe
