Thanks very much for the suggestion. From the General Journal I changed the 
amount directly.

That created a new line with the account “Imbalance-USD” for the correct 
remaining amount. I was able to change the account to Assets:Accounts 
Receivable (which is what the entries for other customers with prepaid balances 
look like).

I also edited the “Num” column entry for the new line to be “Payment” which is 
displayed for the prepayment balances for other customers.

Does that sound about right?

Thanks again.
