debit note adjustment in AP

Hello All,

One of our supplier issued debit note to us of $11,000.00, and we have open invoices for the same supplier of $6000,

the open invoices of 6k we will adjust against debit note, for remaining ( 11k - 6k = 5k) supplier is going to issue cheque,

the doubt is: how we can adjust that cheque against in debit note, ?

we are thinking to create receipt in AR of 5k and from there we will make refund entry, which create AP invoice in AP and that invoice we can adjust against debit note ? , this is correct way or is there any other option available in AP?
