  * **New External invoice out of cancellation:** A new foreign invoice can be created from an already cancelled foreign invoice. This can be necessary if modifications of the billed invoice must be made. For this, the foreign invoice must first be cancelled and then a new invoice can be generated from the cancelled invoice.
  * **Delete external invoice:** Using this action, cancelled invoices can be deleted from the system. Only cancelled foreign invoices can be deleted.
  * **Remove Link to original invoice:** This functionality removes the link to the original document, if the foreign invoice was generated as a copy of a "cancelled" foreign invoice.
