How to handle invoices that I do not want to pay, but I don't want to delete?

Modified on Fri, 12 Jul, 2024 at 10:57 AM

There may be times where you have an invoice that you do not want to pay, but you also do not want to delete either. In this scenario, we recommend entering the invoice as a $0.00 amount entry, posted as a Manual ACH, so that the invoice will not remain in the Accounts Payable workflow. 


The benefits of entering the invoice this way is: 1) the Invoice Number can be referenced if referring to a vendor statement, 2) if someone tries to enter the invoice as the vendor re-sent it, they will not be able to because of the invoice number. 


Enter this as a Manual ACH and "Mark as Paid" in order to remove it from the Accounts Payable workflow. Because the invoice is being entered as a positive and negative amount to the same chart of account, it will not effect the P&L.


See below for an example on what this would look like:
