How to link a check to a Bill

Here is my situation. I am a general contractor. One of my subs (Vendor) needed a down payment and I did not have a Bill from them yet. I wrote a check for the down payment in February.  Now in March I received the Bill for the full amount. How do I apply the check from February to the Bill I want to enter in March.  I also need to add that I used the Items (not expenses) Tab in the Write Checks screen and that I have already billed the Home owner (Customer) for the down payment. [Meaning I can't edit the check and change the expense to accounts payable and the customer job to the vendor because the charge has already been marked as "billed" to the Customer].

Is there a way to do this?  Right now I have entered the March Bill in full and added another line item with a negative amount to showcase the down payment.
