Invoices, by and of themselves, are tracked separately from the Chart of
Accounts. They are sort of an adjunct to "the books", as it were.
When you post an invoice, it adds a transaction (or more) to the A/R
account.
When you unpost an invoice, it removes those transactions from the A/R
account.
An invoice which is not posted (either because it was never posted, or
because it was unposted) leaves no trace in "the books". It's as if it
doesn't exist for A/R tracking.
Invoices cannot be deleted in any approved way. You can of course go and
muck about with the data file itself but that way lies madness. You can,
however, mark and invoice as "inactive" and it won't show up on most
queries.
Derek also suggested reusing invoices that haven't been posted for other
stuff as a way to get old inactive unposted invoices out of your system.
