As per the current functional flow, you cannot view the history of original invoice. Only the last updated information can be tracked in reports or in views. But here are the steps to process product return, when the customer purchases the items, and the invoice has been sent to him. But once he returns the items, you also need to update that in the system.

The image shown below, is the original invoice created for the customer. Take a walk through the steps to understand better.
