If you don't want to enter the entire actual Bill/Invoice/Payment
history for a Customer/Vendor, then simply enter a Bill/Invoice as
needed for any remaining/current amount as of the start date of your
book with a line item description such as 'balance forward'. (and maybe
a reference note on where to find the details)
Then the March 2021 and later payments would apply to this 'balance
forward' Bill/Invoice using the regular AR/AP/Income accounts and more
importantly, be part of the Customer/Vendor reports, which are GnuCash's
version of an Account Statement.
Manual transactions never hit that report, which may be problematic
if/when you use them.

Normally the first transaction you would enter would be the payment, and
then the refund later.
Unfortunately the payment was made in the last month of our previous
financial year, which ended 28th February 2021. I am only intending to put
into GnuCash this financial year's transactions. which started 1st March
2021. Records of earlier transactions will remain in spreadsheets, as it
would be too time-consuming to enter everything into GnuCash. As such, I
don't have a payment to associate this with.
I could not think of anything better than just putting this as
Income -> Other income.
If you have any better suggestions, feel free to make them.
