Not at the moment.  Feel free to contribute.

Note that for 1.2, the projects are similar enough that the SQL-Ledger
and LedgerSMB manuals can be used to document eachothers' software.
This is starting to change however.

Use a vendor invoice.  This is required for correct COGS tracking.

Issue a reversing invoice.  I.e. make all quanties negative.  This
best reverses the financial information attached to an invoice and is
safer than either deleteing or reposting an invoice.

The manual that comes with the source code (in the doc directory) is
very task-oriented and actually includes all of this and much more.
It is accessible through the Help link on the menu.  It is, however,
very different from the SQL-Ledger manual.
