I paid the wcb bill twice and they deposited the cheques, I can't get the 2nd cheque to post in sage so that it shows a credit on their account, why?

Hi, 
 
 I've never found a way to put a 2nd payment for the same invoice and it's also an accounting issu. The only thing I do when this happen is to create a new invoice with the same invoice number but ending with something else (i put "doub" at the end for double). After, you pay the second invoice so your bank reconciliation will work and you create a credit to void the 2nd invoice with the same GL. At the end, you will have 1 expense (invoice 1), 2 payment (invoice 1 and 2) and 1 credit in your supplier account for the wrong payment. 
 
 Hope this helped
