Setup loan account to purchase business

[francamm]

Hi, I'm setting up MYOB for a friend who is loaning $9000 from her parents to purchase a business. 10% has already been paid directly to the vendor from her personal account (not come through her trading account), and the parents have deposited the remaining 90% into the trading account.  I have set up a liability account for the loan, but if I allocate the received funds of $8,100 to that loan, then when the final payment to the vendor is made, the loan account will be zero.... can someone please help me with how this should be set up?  Thank you!
