IMHO the common solution for this kind of problems is to use a "internal 
transfers"
account. (I'm not sure if I use the correct term. In Dutch we call this 
"kruisposten".)

When paying in advance you book:

  checking account: Credit
  internal transfers: Debet

If you connect the internal transfers account with AR_paid, AP_paid, you can 
"pay"
the real invoice using the internal transfers account as a pseudo checking 
account.
