Hi,

The existence of that transaction in itself doesn't mean that payment is 
actually applied to any bill. Your description confirms this. You have to 
actively apply it.

Considering the transaction already exists the easiest way to do so is to 
right-click on the transaction and select "Assign as payment". A payment 
window should pop up. You can select the appropriate vendor if it's not 
already and then click on the bill you want to apply the payment to then click 
ok.

Regards,

Geert
