Sure.
Christian hands me a check for services ($500).
Jack hands me a check for services ($1000).
Both of these checks may land into the same category (1099 income, in my case).
I walk into the bank and make a single combined deposit for $1500. This is what
my deposit receipt and bank statement will show, and also how I would enter it
in my checkbook ledger (KMM).

If I enter it as 2 separate transactions, It becomes correct from the payee
perspective, but I lose transaction "correctness" in the checkbook ledger. 

Whereas if I were to leave the payee field blank, and enter the deposit as a
split transaction, the entry in the bank ledger would simply read "split
transaction" (and it does, by the way) showing the summed total of the splits
(as any other split would do), but I would have payee fields where I could
assign respective amounts.

I am unfamiliar with "proper" bookkeeping/accounting procedures. I am just a
lay person that is self-employed trying to keep his books straight. It just
seemed logical to me that if we can have splits, we should be able to do this
as well.

This was discovered when I tried reconciling payees against 1099's. I had one
that was $600 high and one $600 low. I came to realize that I "credited" an
entire deposit to a single payee (having forgotten that the deposit was
actually 2 checks). My next thought was "oh, I should split that". And now here
I am.
