  "abstract": "Financial ledger accuracy depends heavily on strict control over transaction states and lifecycle progression. In dynamic retail environments, erroneous transactions require systematic handling to prevent reporting distortion. This paper introduces a Finite State Machine (FSM) approach to govern transaction lifecycles—transitioning strictly from creation, through optional cancellation (VOID), to completion. By enforcing transactional state boundaries and implementing automated query filters, the system ensures that voided entries are entirely segregated from financial statements, guaranteeing immutable audit trails and precise financial reporting.\n\nKeywords: accuracy, cancel, transactions",
