Duplicate invoices help needed

[R. Victor Klassen]

While it is true that you cannot delete an invoice, you can edit it.

By which I mean that you can change everything about it, including its invoice number, date, etc.

So, short term, give the duplicate a number that will be easily distinguished from normal numbers.
Eventually, you can re-use that invoice, giving it an appropriate number.
