It's my priority to ensure that your books are accurate, @vb-acctg.
Allow me to get you pointed in the right direction to get this journal entry concern sorted out.
You can delete the journal entries for your vendor to clear this out from your records since it's showing as zero balance. However, I'd recommend consulting your accountant before doing this. They'll be able to provide you the best course of action to be taken in this situation.
If you're accountant verified that you can delete them, you may follow these steps below:
- Click on Company at the top.
- Press on Make General Journal Entries.
- Look for the journal entries of the vendor.
- Hit on the Delete button on the transaction
- Select on OK.
- Tick on Save and Close.
