How to Apply Vendor Credit to Vendor Invoices and leave partial credit open?

SOLVED

I have been searching everywhere for an answer to this.

I have a credit from a Vendor  that is larger than the invoices from that same Vendor.  It's such a large credit that it may take a few weeks to gather enough invoices to clear the credit completely.   We also get a cash discount from this Vendor so I don't want to leave the Invoices Open on the books.

So how can I apply this large Vendor Credit to these multiple invoices, so that the invoices show paid, and still show a  balance for this credit that we can use on future invoices from this vendor?

Thank you!
