Then you have an overpayment; you have to account for it *somehow*.  So
how would you propose it be accounted for?  For example, you bill your
customer $95.  They pay you $100.  How do you account for that extra $5
they paid you?  It has to go *somewhere*, so why not keep it in A/R as a
potential future payment?
