Since nobody seemed to have an answer ready, I've discussed with Chris how
to solve this issue. What we came up with has been documented as a separate
workflow in the LedgerSMB book (http://book.ledgersmb.org/ - section 39.7).
Doing so was a good reason to write more on the book (highly needed anyway).

To summarize: create a special AR/AP transaction, pay that transaction
using the overpayment and move the resulting income/expense to the cash
account using a GL transaction.


Bye,

Erik.
