Note that, there are some documents that can’t be canceled such as A/R or A/P Down Payment Invoice and Landed costs documents.

In addition to fit your businesses, you can define the time range and decide whether to put the cancellation documents into reports or not. These settings can be done in Main Menu: Administration -> System Initialization -> Document Settings -> General tab.
