To expand on this, we have a lot of invoices that have been paid by various means that are still showing open.  How can I get rid of them?  Some are several years old, some have been paid as a lump sum in another entry.  All in all a mess.  Should I create credits for all of them and follow the same procedure?

Expanding on this question, what if the invoices are several years old?  I've inherited a mess that I'm trying to clean up.  Invoices that are 3 & 4 years old that have been paid but the payments were never entered or the invoices were lumped together with other invoices and paid in one lump sum.  There's no way of telling what was paid and when. Payments were made off of vendor statements, partial payments were made...etc.  It would take a forensic accountant over a year to sort though.

Any ideas?
