That may not be correct. If you right-click the transaction, do you see 
'Edit payment' or do you see 'Assign as payment' in the menu?

If you check the relevant Vendor Report, do you see the payment listed 
appropriately? If you choose Options > Display Columns > Links > 
'Detailed' you'll see additional columns showing how the payment was 
applied to which invoice(s).

While you can put anything you want in "Num" that may not have been what 
you wanted. If you had a check number or transaction number you wanted 
to use, that should go there. 'Payment' is placed in the Action field 
(same column as "Num") and is visible if you show the full transaction.

Regards,
Adrien
