By posting a new document which reverses the effect of the error.  An
invoice (or any other transaction) should never be altered once posted.

But if correcting entries have been made the summaries will be correct.  I
don't think erroneous invoices should be hidden, though perhaps they should
be marked with a link the correcting entry (I'm not sure how I'd do that).
