    Hi frenchery,

     

    No worries, I got you!

     

    If a customer overpays an invoice, just record a Receive Payments transaction for the total amount they paid, including the overpayment. This will automatically create a credit for the extra amount, which you can either refund or apply to another invoice. For more details, check out this Help article: Customer Overpayments. 

     

    Another way to handle it is by creating a separate account for the overpayment. Allocate the extra 50% there, and when you reimburse the 50%, record a Spend Money transaction and allocate it to the overpayments account to reconcile.

     

    Feel free to get in touch if you need more help.

     

    Cheers,

    Princess
