   Can't see any outstanding bills? If you're using categories, make sure the supplier debit has the same category allocated as the outstanding bill. This ensures the bill will display when applying the debit.

4. Type the amount you want to apply to a purchase in the Applied column.
   If the Apply Supplier Payments Automatically to Oldest PurchaseFirst preference is selected in the Preferences window (Purchases view), amounts will appear next to the oldest purchase in the Applied column. However, you can apply the debit amount to one transaction or you can split it over multiple transactions in the list.
   Remember that the total amount you apply in the Applied column must equal the amount that appears in the Debit Amount field.
   
5. If you want to apply part of the supplier debit to unpaid finance charges you may have accrued, enter an amount in the Finance Charge field.
6. Click Record to apply the supplier debit.
   If the transaction is unbalanced, that is, if the total amount entered in the Applied column doesn’t equal the amount displayed in the Debit Amount field at the top of the window, a message appears. Click OK to close the message and then check that the amounts you have applied to the various transactions are correct.
