Hi, similar to Adrien's approach, I would perhaps suggest just making the opening balance transaction, but doing it on a "fake" invoice (number zero or something) that just brings in the total owed. Date it before the current FY start. I've been bitten by making manual entries an AR and I wouldn't do it again.
