Hi Cameron,

My way to deal with this sort of thin is to unpost the original invoice, and 
add a new line along the lines of "credit received" "qty:1" "-123.45"
and then repost the amended invoice.

Note that if you do this once other payments have been posted to the A/P 
account, then things may get a bit screwy, and it is then necessary to delete 
out any payments, look for "Automatic Balance Forward" transactions and then 
re-apply the payments.  (this is on the list somewhere else, probably in 
early july)

HTH,
Maf.
