Yes: It's as simple as you think: credit the sales ledger account to clear the invoice, and debit drawings to show that the funds have gone directly to the sole trader.

In principle, where you're reasonably confident the items have been paid by them, it'll be a debit against the invoice (if it's showing as o/s on the purchase ledger) or a debit to an expense (if it's not already on the purchase ledger) with the credit going to capital introduced.
Always exercise a little care with this, however, and rather than just assume the sole trader has paid things privately, question whether he has.
