Cancellation of a locked accounting entry

Cancellation can be used to cancel a locked entry. To do this, modify the entry to be cancelled, then click on the Cancellation button instead of the usual Delete button.

The Cancellation command asks for the cancellation date. You can specify the same date as the entry to cancel, or any other date. After confirmation by clicking on the OK button, the program creates a new entry with the same name, followed by "(Cancellation)". In addition, the Info field contains the text "Cancellation of entry from ..." with the date of the original entry.
