Thanks for all the help, I learned a number of things. What I ended up doing
is use the “Add Reversing Transaction” command on the payment. Somewhat to my
surprise this did pretty much what I wanted to do. It added a “reversed by”
slot to the payment transaction and decoupled it from the invoice. This left
the invoice unpaid. I created a new invoice for the late fee and used the
customer’s replacement check to pay both the original invoice and this new one.
This seems to make the books reflect reality fairly well. My main problem was
that I had forgotten about the "Add Reversing Transaction” command so didn’t
think to try it.
