[GNC] Manually edit pmt info (reverse a payment) for a vendor?

[Jim DeLaHunt]

This sounds like a good solution for your situation.

I recommend the complementary idea: saving a copy of your active book as 
a test book, doing experiments in that test book to see how things 
actually work, then deleting the test book, and redoing the actual 
transactions in the active book. It is only a little time and effort to 
make a test book, and it can save you having to undo mistakes in the 
active book.

Best regards,
