Hi Keith.
I think that it is possible for a customer to make a payment before an invoice
is created in GC. (I remember some "auto-payments-forward" or similar a few
years ago when I got my A/R in a bit of a mess....)
Just try doing a "process payment" for the customer, event though there isn't
an outstanding invoice. Worst case, you'll just have to delete the
transaction from the bank account!
HTH,
