EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
-----------------------
The expected behavior is to have the same value in the Invoice and the database.

STEPS
-----------------------
1.Try with an account that has DD set up, and schema other than 1
2. Let initial 1-2 payments be via DD
3. Then for the next bill, do DD payment, reverse it, do an offline payment
4. Do this payment using Payment Tool. Make sure to load from pin01 of the payment tool.
5. The payment needs to remain unallocated at account level.
Let the payment be allocated using tstbulk_overpayment_allocation.

BUSINESS IMPACT
-----------------------
Bill Presentment - Negative Experience, a balance showing as Brought Forward when already paid before Next Invoice creation date.
