Figured it out. The overpayment shows up in the process payment window as a credit. If you select any outstanding invoices to be paid and the overpayment, the overpayment is applied to the outstanding invoice due and the amount due is reduced by the amount of the overpayment.
Thanks much, Roger -----Original Message----- From: Robert Heller [mailto:hel...@deepsoft.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 4, 2017 7:10 PM To: Roger Oliver <rmom...@gmail.com> Cc: gnucash-user@gnucash.org; Robert Heller <hel...@deepsoft.com> Subject: Re: Receiving payments on invoices When you process a payment, the payment is applied to all outstanding invoices, current and past (you don't generally specify a specific invoice, unless there is some partitular reason to match a payment to a specific invoice). I don't know if over payments will be applied to future invoices -- I've never had to deal with that (the few times I have had over payments there were no future invoices planned, so I just "absored" the over payments as a "gift" ["tip"]). My *guess* is that the overpayment becomes a credit that will get applied to a future invoice, if you don't "edit" the split to do something else with it.
