Because THESE (membership) invoices have resulted in A/R income that can
be dealt with by a pseudo expense account with some name as "dropped
dues". However I am surprised to hear that unposting an invoice doesn't
eliminate the income in A/R. There be the need for something like that
even in ordinary business << say the shipment never reaches the
customer; and being a time sensitive item, they no longer want it, so
you are trying to undo the sale >>
However, for pledges that go unfulfilled, you want a real expense
account "unfulfilled pledges" because those were receivables in the
legal sense.
