The assign as payment logic in 2.6 is fairly primitive. It tests for two 
things:
1. does the transaction has at least one split in an Accounts Receivable or 
Accounts Payable account ? If yes to the first, it will only allow to select a 
customer in the presented payment window. If the second it will only allow to 
select a vendor in the presented payment window

2. if none of these, it will look at the sign of the checking split: is it 
positive (that is you receive money) it will propose a customer payment, 
otherwise it will propose a vendor payment.

And that's it. So does the transaction you have selected match any of these 
that would lead to a customer selection (split in A/R or you receive the 
money) ?
