Zero-Sum Purchase Invoice Removal from Ledger : Netvisor

This help explains how to handle a zero-sum purchase invoice in accounts payable so that it no longer appears among open purchase invoices.

You can handle an approved zero-sum (0.00 €) purchase invoice in accounts payable as follows by selecting Purchases > Purchase invoices > Open purchase invoices > select the zero-sum purchase invoice:

Open the zero-sum purchase invoice.
From the Purchase invoice actions menu on the right side of the invoice view, select Show payments.

On the next page, click the Add new payment entry button.
Add a zero-sum payment for the desired date.
Select the desired payment method.
Record a comment, message, or reference.
Finally, select Save.

Adding a zero-sum payment creates a zero-sum voucher. The selected payment method does not matter in this case, because a zero-sum payment and a zero-sum voucher have no significance for bookkeeping. If you wish, the voucher can be recorded, for example, in a clearing account or by using the payment method cash, as in the example image. The purchase invoice moves from the Open purchase invoices view to the purchase invoice list and has the paid status.
