Voiding an invoice cancels it entirely, removing revenue and receivables from the ledger and marking the invoice as voided. Voiding can only be performed on an invoice before payments have been collected or write-offs have been made. If an invoice was created by mistake and included payments, these should be deleted instead of voiding.
