Hi sincard, 

Welcome to the Community. I'll be happy to happy to guide you in the right direction so you're on the right path to achieving your QuickBooks. 

It's important your bill correctly. Here's how to record a payment by cheque:

1. Click on + New.
2. Select Cheque.
3. From the Payee dropdown, select the supplier you paid. This opens a window with all of their outstanding bills.
4. Select Add to add an open bill to the cheque. Note: If you don't see this, select the small arrow next to the amount. If you have credit with the supplier, you can also add it from the Credits section.
5. From the Bank account dropdown, select the account you made the cheque payment from.
6. In the Amount field, enter the cheque amount.
7. In the Outstanding Transactions section, select the bills the cheque payment went to. If it covers multiple bills, select the checkboxes for those bills. You can split the payment and enter an amount for each bill in the Payment column.
8. Select Print.
9. When you're done, select Save and new or Save and close.

Give this a try and let me know how you make out. I'll be one message away in case you have other questions.
