If you return goods to your supplier, your invoices no longer match the real 
transaction. I would expect your supplier to write a credit memo/credit note for 
the returned goods.

The credit memo can then be used to offset the outstanding amounts of the two 
invoices. Or put differently, you'd "pay" your outstanding amounts with the 
credit memo.

At least that's how this is handled in most European countries.
