    Hi Matty72 , process the second payment as usual, but in customer payments select "include closed invoices". Find the one already paid, and manually type in the amount received to the amount applied column, and click record. This will generate a credit, which you can apply to another invoice or refund to the customer, via Sales Register, Credits and Returns.

    Mike_James Thank you that's great. If the customer elects to take a refund, how would this be processed such that bank account is credited and the credit is discharged from the customer's account?

      Hi Matty72 , to process a refund, open the sales register, select the credits and returns tab, and your credit will be there. Select it, then click on Refund at the bottom of the screen. That will open a window where you can record the payment, which will do what you want.
