Vince the answer to this is if you walked in cold ,as an auditor and run the audit would you know what happened. Would you know when the original invoice happened and when the cancel entries happened. could you trace the original invoice and when and how the new entries that reversed it happened? Normally, in the past, you leave the records in then you post new entries that cancel with notes to the previous entries that they are posting against. This also affords the original date of the transaction and the date it was effectively canceled.
In the paper world the the service you mention would be the equivalent of throwing away the original paper work and putting a note in place that I canceled the invoice. Unless I missed something.
