My previous message also contained the steps to unwind: delete all 
transactions from your A/P account. I guess my description was a bit terse.

I also mentioned you can't delete transactions generated from an invoice. They 
are under control of the business code. But that doesn't matter. I'm pretty 
sure it's not those that are wrong.

Just delete all non-invoice transactions and you should be able to make a 
fresh start.
