Hello there, Gracymedina80.
Your process if correct. However, it looks like QuickBooks created a payment bill for the remaining balance. We can delete the payment (if necessary).
To delete a bill/bill payment check, you can follow the steps below.
- Open the transaction.
- Select the Edit menu, then Delete Bill/Bill Pmt-Check.
Once done, apply it when paying the vendor bills.
- Go to the Vendors menu.
- Select Pay Bills.
- Select the vendor bill.
- Click the Set Credits button.
- Click Pay Selected Bills.
And, yes, you're correct. Another option is to create a bill and enter another line item with a negative amount. Afterward, you can learn more about paying bills in QBDT in this article: Pay bills in QuickBooks Desktop.
To handle your credit and bill, you can visit this article: Remove or unapply a credit from an invoice or bill.
Let me know how it goes. QuickBooks Team is always here to help, Gracymedina80. Take care and stay safe.
