Maf. is right, this is much more efficient. To add just a little bit:
there is an option for that report "Show zero balance items?" I'm not
sure if its on by default, but I turn it on always because then it
shows *all* your vendors/customers, whether they owe you money or not,
so long as they have at least one invoice. So once you've entered at
least one invoice, then the cust/vend *will* show in that report. I
just leave mine open all the time, its a pretty quick-to-run report
and is really useful. 

Also, learn the keyboard shortcuts. For a new invoice, when you have
one already open: Alt-F n i <enter-invoice-id> <Tab> <enter date> <6x
Tab> <space> <down-arrow appropriately> <enter> alt-o  etc etc etc
