Yes, the writeoff lines were (silently) generated, and this explains the
current behavior.

But I still don't see how I can solve my problem: I don't want a
writeoff, but use a credit note to perform a partial payment on an open
invoice. This is something I'm used to from my previous accounting package.

Should I use a different workflow to credit single move lines on open
invoices?
