Scheduled Payments showing as additional invoices owing.

I do hope I'm in the right place and someone can help?

We are discovering Payables (And the rest of Financials) by luck rather than training and as such have just found Scheduled Payments for the direct debits associated with rates invoices. The invoices are on and accounted, we have then gone into the Scheduled Payments tab and input the payments schedule. We were very very happy.

However when we come to run the Calculate Balance or an Invoice Aging Report these future dated Scheduled Payments are appearing as new 'invoices owing on the account effectively doubling the total balance owed/showing? We have tried putting the future scheduled payments on hold but this has had no effect.
