Adding a customer with an outstanding balance

[L. D. James]

Can someone advise me of a customary way of adding a customer who was in 
a different Accounting system that has a current balance.

So far I had been generating an invoice and calling it outstanding balance.

Since the original invoices are in the other accounting system, it might 
be a lot of work to try to generate new invoices.  Some of the 
outstanding balances generate from number invoices that has been 
partially paid over more than a year.

My current logic was to have the customers account having an outstanding 
balance (from that past) and of course any new changes will be invoices 
in Gnucash.

Thanks in advance for any comments or suggestions.
