It’s better to issue a RMA and then a credit memo so you can track the transaction. Always put notes why the CM was issued.
if the invoice was just for services then it’s easy. But if inventory was shipped and then returned etc., you will also need to adjust the inventory which the CM will force you to do.
Thanks.

Thanks for bringing your concern here in the Community about managing your invoices, Anna.
Yes, I do agree with what @Qualpro stated.
In QuickBooks Online (QBO), you can issue a credit memo to keep the original invoice accessible for future reference or audits. This way, the credit memo will then document the reason for reducing your customer's balance due. It also allows you to adjust inventory by entering the quantity of the returned items for accurate inventory management.
However, voiding the invoice would also zero out the amount. Keep in mind that it will result in the loss of some details from the original order, providing less documentation for future reference.

Canceling invoices due to order cancellations is common situation that businesses face, Annamaria. I'll share the best way to handle this in QuickBooks.
In QuickBooks Online (QBO), whether you issue a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) or a credit memo when canceling an invoice due to an order cancellation depends on your business-specific processes and needs.
However, the Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) feature is unavailable in QuickBooks. What you can do is issue a credit memo in QBO to reflect the cancellation and provide a credit to the customer account.
Here's how to create a credit memo in QBO:
