If you use the Application Inquiry/Reversal screen to move a payment from one customer to another it will create a batch because the payment document for the original payment has to be reversed and a new payment document created for the new customer. Also, if the payment had been applied to an invoice or multiple invoices, those invoices are activated again. This has a net zero effect on the GL as far as the cash in bank account and the receivable account but the batch will still exist. By the way, this screen does not apply a payment (as stated in your original post) so, after performing this process of moving the payment to the other customer you still have to use the payment application screen to apply that payment under the new customer to one or more invoices under that new customer.
