This is a critical issue

once an invoice is posted it MUST  NOT be simply deleted or canceled. 
we have "Allow cancelling" in every journal.

IMHO a posted  invoice which gets canceld must generate reverse postings in  
accounting. 
and the cancelling process should get a date, a user id and a reason.
another problem are gaps in the numbering.
so deleting of invoices or what so ever should never be allowed.

just because in the meantime someone else may have looked/printed the account.

I have always a bad feeling if cancelling and especially altering of data is 
allowed without logging. but for this we have a module audittrail.
 
and if something is not clear, the client will ask the partner for help. 
it is already bad enough that we do not have a tool to see inactiv resources!
