outstanding accounts receivables?

[John Layman]

I recently posted an invoice with the wrong invoice number and discovered
that I could not subsequently unpost and edit the invoice number.  I
considered altering the XML, but couldn't easily identify what to change.

Hi Tony, Axel,

AFAIK, you can not delete an invoice.  What yo can do, though is re-use
them, by editing the customer details and invoice number etc. and then
posting. (ie invoice 000001 becomes invoice 004567 or whatever is next in
your sequence) 

another tip for selecting all invoices etc. is to use "matches regex" and
then "." (full stop, period, decimal point YMMV, no quotes!) in the "find" 
dialogue.

Maf.
