I have 3 open purchase orders for no charges for samples.  These items are being received into inventory, but I am not being sent no charge invoices from the vendors.  These are items that are being used in the process of mfg and need to be in inventory.
 
At this point, I am looking at creating dummy $0.00 invoices from the vendor to clear the holding account.  At the end of the month, I would pick these invoices off of the payables aging report and print manual checks to clear the accounts.   This seems like a silly process, but I'm looking for an audit trail along the way.
 
I'm also wondering if I'm opening another can of worms in regards to doing the bank reconciliation thru DBA with $0.00 checks.  Will DBA allow the clearing of $0.00 checks?
 
Does this entire process need to be done at all since the hit to the Holding Account is -0-?
 
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
