Please review House Account Version 2 articles if you see Version 2 in Settings > House Accounts.
Use manual payments towards house accounts instead of automatic billing or when you need to re-process the payment. Making a manual payment on a house account before the automatic billing has been processed can lead to customers being charged twice.
