Ross Delete the entry for the dummy cheque and confirm A/P is back to 85.00.
First, check that the payment (and the invoice) is listed in the supplier a/c and it balances to 0.00. If it does, right click on the payment cheque entry and select edit payment. It should show the unassigned 85.00. Make sure it is highlighted and press OK. Check the payment is now assigned and the A/P list is cleared. The invoice will now show as paid. No idea why GC sometimes “forgets” assignments but it happens to me from time to time. Let us know how you get on.
