The logic here doesn't feel right to me I'm afraid.

I've worked hard in recent releases to improve the consistency of our accounts
records.. taking the 'double-entry accounting' approach.

In such an approach accountlines, once set, should not be altered and instead,
all alterations/updates should be recorded as additional lines and offset
against the original.  The exception to that rule is where the final amount is
not yet set when the line is initially created (the only case so far is fines
where we have accruing fines which are updated via the 'adjust' method).

I was intending to eventually update the void method to prevent it from
updating the original payment line as losing that detail in the line itself can
be a red flag when accountants come to audit the system.

Could we perhaps either update VOID to allow voiding of charges and apply a
similar treatment here.. or utilise the 'reduce' method I added recently?
