Migrating a non-profit bookkeeping system from ledger, and currently I
group bank deposits into a single transaction like this, with a separate
payee for each posting. The main deposit posting inherits the payee of the
whole transaction, "Our Bank".

2020/01/22 Our Bank
  Assets:Cash:Checking Account                                  $ 15.00
  Income:Earned:Program Fees                                    $ -10.00
    ; Payee: John Public
    ; Dated:: [2020/01/19]
    ; CheckNo: cash
    ; Program: Events:Programs:Workshop
    ; Location: CCUU
    ; Memo: aspects classes (2)
  Income:Earned:Program Fees                                     $ -5.00
    ; Payee: Cindy Burrows
    ; Dated:: [2020/01/19]
    ; CheckNo: cash
    ; Program: Events:Programs:Workshop
    ; Location: CCUU
    ; Memo: aspects class

Is it possible to do this in beancount, overriding the payee for each
posting? Or do I need to create a temporary account like
"UndepositedFunds", or whatever, and separate this into three separate
transactions? We operate on the cash basis, so technically I don't like to
recognize the income until the date of deposit, and I keep the check date
in the "Dated" metadata on each posting.

Thanks!
Matt
