Unlinking a payment - when a payment has been received and allocated to an invoice (Receipted), reversing the allocation removes the link between a payment and the invoice. The invoice becomes outstanding again.

 Reverse Payment
 Reversing is the action of removing the payment so it’s like the payment never happened. You cannot do this if part of the money has been allocated to an invoice(s), so a reverse allocation would need to be performed first.
