I tried to follow your suggestions below, first entering a reversing
transaction to clear my earlier entry. Then I applied the payment to
invoice B, which left a "payment imbalance." I couldn't figure out a way
to apply that to Invoice A directly. Of course, it may be there and I'm
just missing it.
What I ended up doing was processing a "Refund" of the overpayment of
Invoice B, and applying that to a new asset account I named, "Vendor
Credits." Then, I turned around and entered a payment of that credit
amount to apply to the first 25% payment on Invoice A. Kind of clumsy,
but at least you should be able to follow it at tax time.
Thanks for trying to help----Eric.

It is possible dating may play a role if A is indeed earlier than B, but
I'm not certain.
If that is the case, then you'll have to make a payment for the full
amount as planned (1/4*A+B) but only choose Invoice B to apply it to.
This will leave an unlinked over/pre-payment attached to that Vendor for
the difference.
Then Process another payment, this time, selecting the remainder not
applied originally, to Invoice A.
I think it should remain as a single transaction in the register, but
please do report back how it turns out.
Regards,
Adrien

I'm fairly new to using the Accounts Payable function. I have a vendor
which is owed two invoices, one larger one which she has agreed to
accept four monthly payments on plus one smaller invoice which I wanted
to pay up front right now. I made a payment for 1/4*A + B, but when I
attempted to "assign as payment" it only applied it to a portion of the
larger invoice A. What's the proper technique for dealing with this kind
of situation going forward?
