In order to adjust excess GST paid in the previous month, you need to pass a Journal entry for adjustment. However, before doing so, you must first create a cross-adjustment entry through the GST Summary of the particular month in which you want to adjust your excess GST amount. This will allow you to determine the actual GST payable for that month. 
 Once the cross-adjustment entry is done, you can pass a separate Journal entry to reduce the GST payable amount of that particular month. To do this, you can create an account master with the name "excess GST paid" and define the group as either a current asset or advance. You can then mention the excess GST amount as the opening balance in that account master for the next month. 
 To pass the Journal entry, debit the "excess GST paid" account and credit the GST payable account of that particular month. This will help you find the net GST payable amount for that month after adjusting your excess GST paid amount. 
 It is important to note that for such entries, it is recommended to contact a CA or an accountant.
