Enable payment processing in B2B Contract Orders

We are looking to leverage Contract Orders as the Parent entity for our B2B large-order fulfilment process. A single large B2B Contract Order will serve as the source, spawning multiple Sales Orders based on specific attributes. The customer will make a single payment against the original Contract Order which cannot be duplicated across the child orders. Hence we would like to request an enhancement to capture and authorize payment on the Contract Order before it is split into child Sales Orders.

A single large B2B Contract Order will serve as the source, spawning multiple Sales Orders based on specific attributes.

Having payment processing in the contract order will avoid complexities of apportioning a single payment across multiple child orders.
