Key points

If a customer pays you too much, even via a bank feed or imported statement, record the whole payment in MYOB Essentials
If a customer has paid an invoice twice, create a customer return for the second payment
When an overpayment is recorded, a customer credit is created for the overpaid amount
Credits can be refunded or applied to other open invoices (ask the customer their preferred option)

To process an overpayment

From the Sales menu, choose Take payment.
Select the customer in the From field and choose the Into account.
Enter the total amount of the payment (including the overpayment) in the Payment amount field.

If a customer has no open invoices
Create a customer return for the overpaid amount, then either refund the payment, or hold onto the credit to apply to a future invoice.
Ensure all other details of the payment are entered. See Customer payments for more information.
Click Save when you're finished.
You'll receive a message confirming that an invoice has been overpaid, and that you can process the return.
Click OK.
If the overpayment came through in a bank feed, match the overpayment amount in the bank feed to the payment you created above.
Process the customer return (Sales menu > Process customer returns) and choose whether you want to apply the overpaid amount to an invoice or refund the customer. You can also hold onto the credit to apply to a future invoice.
