A/R posting to multiple customer ID's

Two questions:

First:  We have customers that have many branches
(that have seperate ID's that report to a master ID). 
Many of these customers also pay all branches on one
check.  Since each check may contain payments for
multiple (up to 10 different) customer ID's, we have
to go any manually identify the customer ID for each
invoice paid and then go into Mapics and individually
pay each invoice as if it was paid on a single check. 
I believe Mapics is designed to allow for you to enter
the entire check amount in A/R trans posting and then
just tag each invoice paid.  I have not found a way to
do this method over several different customer ID's.  

How do other companies handle this situation?

Second:  How many people/companies actually belong to
this list?  I just joined and want to get an idea of
the size of the group.

Thanks,
