Indeed, this menu option is not available on the A/R account pages. That would 
probably make for a fine improvement... At present you can only unpost 
invoices from their own page.

That means your invoice is most likely already unposted.

To be sure, close the invoice tab and reopen it. There was a bug in the past 
that could show an unposted invoice as posted when you
1. unpost an invoice
2. close gnucash with the invoice tab open and chosing not to save (undoing 
the unpost action  but not the window state)

If it's still showing up as unposted (that is, there's only a post option in 
the edit menu), that means your invoice really is unposted.
