    The original entry was:
    Debit Cash for 257
    Credit Assounts Receivable for 257

    You need to do an entry so the correct amounts are $725 so you need to do another journal entry for the difference between $257 and $725 for the cash received and the account that was paid by a customer, which is Accounts Receivable account.

    Payment is under recorded by 468 (725 - 275):
    Debit Accounts payable or any appropriate account to which the payment relates - 468
    Credit Bank 468
