  3. Find Invoice ID XYZ. 
  4. Choose Edit button.
  5. Choose View All Option.
  6. Navigate to the Document Flow.
  7. Open the Business Transaction.

The stuck cancellation invoice ABC can also be found in the Unposted Source Documents view in the General Ledger Work Center (ABC represents the Cancellation Invoice ID).
