Hi there, Evster.
If this is an advance payment for a supplier, you can simply edit the Cheque's (if you created one) account to Accounts Receivable so you can link it to the open bill.
To do that:
- Go to the Plus Icon (+).
- Choose Expense or Cheque.
- Enter the name of the Supplier.
- Under the Category column, select Creditors (Accounts Payable).
- Type in the Description and Amount.
- Click Save and Close.
Once you received the invoice from your supplier, you can create a Bill transaction to record it and link it with the cheque transactions.
To create the Bill:
- Click the Expenses menu.
- Choose the Suppliers tab.
- Locate the name of the supplier.
- In the Action column, click the Create Bill link.
- Enter Bill details.
- Click Save and Close.
To link the cheque transactions with the Bill:
- Open the Bill you've created.
- Click the Make Payment button below the amount of the Bill.
- On the Bill Payment page, check the Bill in the Outstanding Transactions section.
- Mark the Cheque transaction in the Credits section.
- Click Save and Close.

You may also want to review how much you're paying each supplier by running a report with supplier totals.
