[GNC] Correcting an incorrect amount on a payment

[Adrien Monteleone]

Not really sure what you mean by 'in place' but I think you can edit the 
original payment transaction amount (since it is in excess of what was 
applied later) and all *might* flow correctly afterwards. You'll have to 
try it to find out.

Medium case, you'll need to 're-apply' the payment to each invoice.

Worst case, well, let's cross that bridge if you get there, as it is a 
bit involved. (but still do-able)

Do this on a copy/backup of your file just in case, and if it doesn't 
work or turns into a mess, you can always just ditch that copy and open 
the original again, otherwise, turn the edited file into the main copy.

Regards,
Adrien

Now I realize I entered the incorrect amount for that prepayment. Although Gnucash now shows that the prepayment is used up, there should really be a non-zero amount remaining.
