Hi Kevin,

A General Transaction will not affect the customer balance or invoice. Instead, create an invoice payment with the Amount Received field set to the amount that the customer has paid. If the invoice has been underpaid you can just record another payment later. If the invoice has been overpaid it will act like a credit note - you can issue a refund or allocate the credit to another sale.

Regards,
