If you have any Accounts Receivable invoices or balances you need to remove,  you can void them if they are in the current year and you didn’t want them, or you can do a reverse of them by entering in an invoice and use a negative quantity, then go into 3-3-1 and do a zero dollar deposit.  That will remove that balance.  If the outstanding balance is a credit, just do a positive invoice to offset it then do a zero dollar deposit in 3-3-1 to remove it.  Note:  If the job was done and client refuses to pay balance, you can also write it off to bad debt.  Just use your bad debt account number in the reversing invoice you do.

If you have any Accounts Payable invoices or balances you need to remove, you can void them if they are in the current year and you didn’t want them, or you can do a reverse of them by entering in an offsetting invoice in 4-2.  Then go into 4-3-1 and select the positive and negative invoice to pay, then do a zero dollar check to remove it.
