A compare of the backups before and after voiding will provide the diffs that need to be inserted when cancelling the voiding. Some computed values will be affected like average costing after such insertions.

Backup and restore will always work. However, in my case, an auditor may want to see transactions that were voided days/weeks after voiding. Restoring a backup at that time means we're losing all transactions from the time of voiding.

That affects depending on the type or document you void. mainly it affects on gl_trans, audit_trail, bank_trans, journals. But the best solution for your question is simply follow the Backup and restore to get it.

Yes, I'm very aware of the warning:

Are you sure you want to void this transaction? This action cannot be undone.

However, I still want to believe something can be done, especially before the actual voiding. Any ideas?

Is there a way to store the transaction to be voided somewhere (as a SQL statement or anything) before voiding? Or what options are available? Any wild (even seemingly absurd) idea is welcome.
