Customer cancels bill after fiscal year close

Greetings

        What is the best way to record this entry in peachtree?

Invoice #2717 made on June 25th 2002
Fiscal year is closed as of June 30th 2002
On date July 6th 2002, customer decides to cancel the invoice

How can I record this in peachtree?
Was  thinking of a reverse journal entry in the GL, but want too leave
an audit trail?

Cheers

    Normally I would simply void the invoice, and enter today’s date as the Void
    As date.  However, I’m don’t think you can void an invoice in a closed year.
    (Another reason I wait at least 3 – 4 months after the end of my fiscal year
    before closing it in Peachtree).  I would suggest posting a new invoice that
    negates the first (use negative quantities).  This will then effectively
    reverse the original invoice, and will update the necessary G/L accounts
    (including Sales Tax Liability), and correct inventory counts, etc.  Only
    thing is that posting a new negative invoice will not automatically clear
    the customer’s account.  You’ll have to open the Receipts window and click
    on both invoices (the original and the new negative), which should cancel
    each other out to leave a zero balance on the receipt.  Post and you should
    be good to go . . .
