When an invoice, bill, or charge needs to disappear, your first instinct might be to hit "delete." But deleting wipes out your paper trail and can create a major headache if you need that data later.

What to do instead: VOID it.

Voiding sets the transaction amount to zero while preserving the original form and audit trail—keeping your books accurate and compliant.
