How does one properly add an invoice for a past due amount?

[Steve O'Sullivan]

Howdy all,

 

I have an invoice from the end of November, and I needed to re-send it with
a request to remit upon receipt.

 

To do this I created a new invoice duplicating the original, and posted it.
Now I have obviously artificially boosted my accounts receivable amount.

 

What is the proper way to handle this vis-à-vis (real layman’s) accounting
and GnuCash itself?

 

I really appreciate any and all consideration.

 

Regards,
