Just for completeness... For the advanced user, there's two exceptions 
where you can alter the payment amount directly by changing the payment 
transaction directly:
- You can decrease the payment amount without causing any trouble.
- And you can increase the payment amount if the invoice wasn't paid in 
full yet. But you shouldn't increase the payment amount beyond the 
current payment amount plus the amount of the invoice that is still unpaid.

So if you have an invoice of $100 and one payment of $50 and one of $40 
for that invoice, you can safely lower either payment's amount or add 
$10 to one payment directly without confusing the payment logic.
