The system allows an invoice to be "overpaid" (Ie more money allocated to it than the value). If this is missed and a VAT period closed, its really difficult to recover from, especially if the inadvertent overpayment should have been allocated to another invoice. You end up with a locked invoice with a negative value, an "overdue" invoice and an incorrect VAT payment.
I can see no valid reason why an invoice should be overpaid. Consequently, the system should disallow that to happen.
