Posting a payment against a liability account

SOLVED

The owner of the company made a loan to the company, and the account is listed as a long term liability in Sage. He created a service receivable invoice for some items he purchased and wants the amount applied against the loan. I tried to do a journal entry but it will not let me, stating that posting to a receivable account must be done using the appropriate clearing accounts. I'm trying to think of how to do this properly and I am stumped. Any help is appreciated.

    He created the invoice, and wants the balance of the invoice applied to the loan to reduce the amount of what he loaned to the company, if that makes sense. I've been trying to wrap my head around it as well. 

    Is it possible that I would just need to void the invoice and create an entry to reduce the loan amount?
