Hi hello-ironworksr,

 

Welcome to Community!  Having zero balances appearing on the A/R Aging Summary report are typically caused by an invoice that hasn't been linked to a payment or credit.  Even if the net balance is zero, the A/R Aging Summary report will still show the open invoice.  I would be happy to show you how to clear these out!

 

Follow these steps to clear up the net zero balances;

 

1. Open +New and select Receive payment

2. Enter the Customer name and leave the Amount received blank

3. For the Payment date, enter the date you'd like to use as the invoice closing date for your reports

4. Under Outstanding transactions, put a checkmark next to the invoice to be paid with the credit

5. Under Credits, put a checkmark next to the credit

6. Hit Save and close

The zero balances should now be gone from the A/R Aging Summary report.
