Hi,

This is all from memory, as I haven't got GC available today...

Deposit cheque into the bank and record it as a transfer from Asset:suspense

process payment for invoice 1, the money transfers between A/R & Suspense

repeat for invoice 2 (and again in the future, if there is an overpayment to 
carry forwards)

When all is done, A/R should have gone down by (say) £500, suspense should be 
0 and Bank needs to be up by (say) £500 

HTH,
Maf.
