How to pay invoices using owner's draw?

Two options:

1) receive customer payment for the full amount.  Make a deposit and select that payment.  Drop down a line and under account type in the owner's draw account and enter the amount as a negative so the bank deposit is zero.

2) receive customer payment.  Highlight the invoice, select discounts and credits.  Create a discount and use the owner's draw account in the amount of the invoice.
