Posteering
Reference

Cancel an invoice (partner perimeter).

Transitions invoice to 'cancelled' (terminal). Cancellable from 'draft', 'published', or 'partially_paid'. If the invoice was published, the underlying virtual account is archived (further credits to that VA fall through to 'unmatched' triage). Existing partial credits on a cancelled invoice are preserved forensically; refund-of-cancelled-invoice is deferred future work per design §12.1.
