A couple of weeks later I got notice from my bank that the check had bounced.  My question is how to record this.  I want to “unpay” the invoice and charge the amount back to the customer, but I can’t find a good way to do this.

my opinion is you are overthinking this

 >This sort of worked, but the invoice is still marked paid in the 
customer report.  I can, however, select it in the “Process Payment” 
dialog to pay it again and it shows up as unpaid in the receivables 
aging report.  Can I do better than this?

The accounting is ordinary, the customer owes you the money from the 
original date.

The invoice, payment, bounce sequence is a record of events.  I think 
this should show in your accounts, other people think it shouldn't, 
dunno why, it is a reflection of the person that didn't pay, not you.

Ordinary solution?  Make a new invoice and let the person know you 
expect it to be paid.
