QB Desktop will not allow you to do a journal entry with A/R and A/P on the same journal entry which is what you need to do in this case.  

The best way to do this is to create a bank account in QB called 'Clearing Account' and use that to offset the invoice and bill.  Receive payment on the customer's invoice and deposit it to the newly-created bank Clearing Account.  Then, pay down the bill by the same amount using the same Clearing Account.  You now have the invoice paid and a balance remaining on the bill that you can pay.  This works if the bill amount exceeds the invoice.  If the invoice amount exceeds the bill, reverse the process - pay the bill and then receive payment on invoice.
