Void vs. delete

noun

What it means

Deleting a posted entry erases history and breaks the audit trail: auditors and reviewers expect to see what happened and how it was corrected. Voiding instead posts an offsetting reversal, leaving both the original and the correction on the record.

This is why mature accounting systems make 'delete' rare or impossible for anything that has posted to the ledger.

In comma

comma never silently edits posted records. Invoices, bills, payments, and journal entries are corrected by voiding and reversing, and every change: human or AI: is written to the audit log.
