Wrong! He gets an order number

If Invoice 1 is cancelled for some reason, it is still an invoice. The right 
thing is to produce a credit note to balance off the cancelled invoice. 

For smaller quantities, I believe it is OK just to file the cancelled invoice 
with a clear note that it's been cancelled. But I have a feeling my 
accountant doesn't agree :-)
