Entering Zero-Dollar Invoices

NOTE: Make sure that you have completed a Control Group Header sheet.

After entering a zero-dollar control group header:

1.	Type the invoice number in the invoice number field.
2.	Type the invoice date in the date field. This date is used to determine the payment due date based on the payment terms code.
3.	Type the vendor short name@ in the vendor short nm field and press . If you access the Vendor Setup (VSL) screen, choose the appropriate vendor. Type r in the activity field and press to return to the VSL screen.
4.	If any messages appear, read the messages and press to override them and continue entering the invoice.
5.	At the 0001 line, type the first line total amount in the amount/percent field to indicate the total amount of payments to the vendor for the specified 1099 code. A description is not necessary for 1099 zero-dollar invoices. However, if you would like to use a description, the OSC suggests you use Load 1099 zero-dollar invoices.
6.	Type the correct 1099 code in the 99 field.
7.	At the 0002 line, type the reverse (negative) of the amount entered on line 0001. If the vendor has payments under more than one 1099 code, enter the total for each 1099 code on a separate invoice line. The last invoice line should be the reverse (negative) of all of the amounts entered for that vendor.
8.	Type 0.00 in the gross amount field.
9.	Type next or n in the request field to balance the document.
10.	Continue entering documents or type bal in the request field and press to balance the control group. A blank Control Document Entry (CDE) screen will appear.
