Why is EXT_BILLACT no longer in OrderPaymentPreference
Hi.
I was looking at OrderPaymentPreference when billing account is used
for payment, and I noticed in older versions, an
OrderPaymentPreference of payment method type EXT_BILLACT is created,
but not in the current version Why is that? It seems to me that
OrderPaymentPreference.maxAmount would be the only way to split
payments between different payment methods or payment method types
(ie, two credit cards or a credit card and a billing account).

Yes, I think that sounds like the better way to go.

Hi David,
Just checked it again. What happens is if you select "Only pay with
billing accounts" then an OrderPaymentPreference of EXT_BILLACT is
created. If you select a credit card and a billingAccountId, then an
OrderPaymentPreference of CREDIT_CARD type is created for the
CreditCard, and the billingAccountId is filled in on OrderHeader, but
no EXST_BILLACT payment method is created.
I think it would be better in the latter case to create an
OrderPaymentPreference of EXT_BILLACT as well, and then to
use .maxAmount to specify how much of each to use. Do you agree?

This seems strange to me too. An OrderPaymentPreference should
certainly be created for billing accounts even though they aren't a
"PaymentMethod". I'm not sure when this was done or why, but unless
someone has a good reason for it, my vote is definitely for changing
it back and in fact considering what you described as a "bug".
