Gary,

The problem is with an accidentally or incorrectly created GRN from a PO. Once the GRN is created (and not yet posted), you a have a big problem on your hands. There is no VOID function available for the GRN.

The only way out of this situation is a painful process as noted in Michelle's post. You must post the unwanted GRN, create an unwanted Bill, post the unwanted Bill, create an unwanted return, post the unwanted return, create an unwanted debit memo, and post the unwanted debit memo. Not to mention the fact that your PO is now completed and you can't create a new and proper GRN from it when you are ready, so you also have to create a new PO.

We need a GRN VOID function.

The warehouse can be a fast paced place and it is easy for the warehouse staff to click the wrong button.

Given that we are forced to post unwanted GRNs, to keep the records as clean as possible, when I have a large GRN in this situation, I set the qty received to zero for all line items except he first line item, then set the first line item quantity received to 1.. This minimizes the items, the value, and the quantity of all the unwanted transactions you must process to get out of the situation.
