How to clear an old credit memo and matching Invoice from Sage 50 US

SOLVED

I have a credit memo from 2008 and an invoice from 2009 for a customer that need to be cleared out so they stop showing in the AR reports.  How do I go about doing this?  Others in the office have tried to do it as well but have not had any luck.

Thanks!

    If the credit memo shows up on the aged receivbles report but not in the Receive Money window, it's most likely because the credit memo was never assigned a credit memo/invoice number. Since it's from a closed year you can't just edit the transaction to give it a number. You'll have to print the credit memo and let the system assign the number.

    Go to the Reports & Forms menu > Forms > Credit Memos. Select the format you want to print with and click the Preview & Print button. Then just follow the prompts select a starting CM number and print it. There will be no way to undo this since it's in a closed year (not that you would want to).

    Once it has been printed the credit memo should show up in Receive Money.
