How to edit and post 'duplicate' customer invoice?

If it turns out you can't edit it, then some sort of reversing transaction
should be in order. However, doing that manually might be as equally
problematic. (there is also a 'create reversing transaction' in one of the
menus)

I'd ask Geert, John or someone else to chime in on how best to adjust or
fix this.
