Creating the bank deposit from your vendor's check is the first step, MGB4. After that, you need to link it to the bill to clear the outstanding amounts and close it.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Vendors menu, then choose Pay Bills.
2. Check the Deposit that corresponds to the Vendor check amount.
3. Click the Set Credits tab and apply the Bill Credit you created earlier, then tap Done.
4. Select Pay Selected Bills, then click  Done.
