Pending Item Accounting Entries out of balancePending Item Accounting Entries out of balance

We are trying to create an online pending item in Accounts receivable with system-defined entries where the item entry type is definedas a single line. We create the pending item at Accounts receivable > Pending Items > Online Items > Group Entry. On the group Action tab, we click on Create Entries. Once that’s completed, the system creates one line in the accounting entries tab. we then update the distribution line (account) detail. We set the posting action to Batch Standard. At that point we get a message that the accounting entries are out of balance.

But, when we do the same process listed above without updating the distribution line, the system allows us to change the posting action to Batch Standard. Is this how the system is design to operate? We would expect the system to allow us to update the distribution line account to another account, let us change the posting action to batch standard and not have the “out of balance accounting entries” message.
