The purpose of a zero-dollar invoice is to acknowledge and track a specific credit balance or advance payment with a customer. At times, you may not want to charge a client for work performed but still show the client work that was completed.
There are two ways that you can do this within Canopy:
Completely write down a line item to $0.00
Discount the line item at 100% to reduce the rate to $0.00
