I got you covered, @UteS.

To isolate the issue, you can use a clearing account to clear the amount in your Accounts Payable. Then, perform a journal entry. Before doing these steps, I'd recommend creating a backup copy of your file first. This is to ensure that you have the original data you can restore in case of accidental loss or damage. Also, it's best to reach out to your accountant for guidance to make sure everything is correct since you're going to enter a journal entry transaction.

Here's how to set up a clearing account:

1. In your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) program, go to the Lists menu.
2. Select Chart of Accounts.
3. Then, right-click anywhere in the Chart of Accounts and choose New.
4. From the Add New Account window, click the Bank radio button.
5. Next, select Continue.
6. In the Account Name field, type Clearing Account, Barter Account or Wash Account.
7. Do NOT enter an opening balance.
8. Once done, select Save & Close.

When finished, enter a journal entry and use the clearing account. For the detailed steps, refer to this article: Set up a clearing account​​​​​.

In case you'll want to get a detailed view of the debits and credits for each transaction you entered, you can run a Transaction Journal report on QuickBooks Desktop.
