Thanks for sharing the details about your concern, @phil8.
I'm here to guide you through on how to manage your initial payment to your supplier.
You can create a supplier credit of $1,000 to apply with your $2,100 supplier's balance. This way, you can keep track of the correct owed amount to your supplier. Here's how:
- Go to the Plus Icon (+) at the upper right.
- Select Supplier Credit.

- Choose the appropriate supplier name in the Supplier field.
- Enter the Date, Amount, and Account. The account used here is typically the original expense account on the original bill.
- Click Save and close.

When you're ready to link the bill to the supplier credit, you can perform the steps below:
- Go to the Plus Icon (+) at the upper right.
- Select Expense or Cheque.
- Choose the supplier name in the Payee drop-down.
- From the Add to Expense/Cheque section, click Add for the outstanding bill and supplier credit.

- Click Save and close.
