Overpayment creates "Missing GL Account"

A client mistakenly wrote a check for 50 cents more than the invoice.  This created an extra 50-cent entry, which caused a "Missing GL account" error, which makes the Billing (AR) GL Distribution Report unpostable, which ties up all financial statements. I am told to correct this Missing GL account error but not how and where to do it.  Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Do you have a Suspense Account in your COA and linked on the GL Tab of the Billing Program Level Set-up?  I would double-check the set-up in both areas. When the overpayment is entered it should Debit Checks to be Deposited and Credit Suspense.  The Suspense Account is a temporary holding account for transactions until they can be properly classified. You may want to consult with your accountant for more information.

I think I know what you're saying and I think it's working.  I'm crossing my fingers.  Thank you for the tip.
