Just set the amount of payment to the amount on the check instead of
the amount for the current invoice. It's important to note that
gnucash handles payments in a fifo manner. Payments are not applied
directly to individual invoices, but instead are applied to the
account as a whole. The earliest invoices will be marked as paid.
