Setup to create 0$ Payment in Payables (AP)

While most implementers disable a zero dollar payment setup when the pay methods and banks are created, almost all installations at some point require their AP to be able to make a zero dollar payment. Also many mid fiscal year, new implementations ignore the fact that a paid invoice needs to be imported from legacy to appropriately account and create 1099’s, the only way to import such invoice payments is by creating a standard invoice with a credit entry nullifying the net payment to 0 and in the process accounting the 1099 amount on standard invoice.

Some legislations and accounting problems also require a zero dollar payment be issued to clear out and balance payments. Whatever the circumstances might be, it eventually becomes the responsibility of production support to come up with a solution.
