    Hi Mummsy, 


    Thanks for posting your concern in the forum.

     

    I understand how uncommon this scenario is. In my understanding, we are trying to apply credits from a customer to another customer's invoice in the file. Unfortunately, the application does not have a feature specific to this scenario. You could create a clearing account to refund the overpayment and pay the other customer using that clearing account, but I would suggest seeking advice from an accountant with this since this is considered financial advice. 

     

    Let us know if you require any further assistance with this. 

     

    Thanks,
    Genreve
