Thanks Adrien,
I understand the complexity of the data-base, and re-using them would be great.
But....
Please tell me how you find them?
(there are a LOT at this point)
Once I Unpost and clean up incorrect invoices or bills they seem to vanish when 
I close its tab in the "Accounts" ribbon.

All the best,
Eric

They remain forever. (There was a decent explanation as to why recently on IRC 
- the short of it is that deleting them cleanly is simply too messy with the 
current code.)

My workflow in such cases is to change their ID to 'use next'. You can either 
create a dummy vendor/customer for them as well, or just leave them as-is since 
you can re-assign the vendor/customer before posting.

When I want to start a new bill/invoice, I do a find for 'use next' IDs, but 
that is pretty rare now as I just duplicate a previous document and edit from 
there. (and I don't think I have any 'use next' documents left
anyway.)

Regards,
Adrien
