I have many customers that ship samples to their customers free of charge. These sample orders are oftentimes processed like a stanard sales order in that they are allocated, shipped and invoiced (at zero dollars). When these invoices are posted they are put out on the customer's account so that when they run an aging report (NA-BPATB) they will see the sample $0 invoices.
These invoices remain out there on the customer's account until a user goes into the manual matching (LETTRAGE) and selects them one by one off the account.
Ideally there would be a parameter value that could be set that would allow for the automatic matching of these $0 invoices upon their creation.

Note one solution that I've found for this problem is to not express the net price on the invoice line as zero, but rather let the net price reflect the list price and then setup a discount sales invoice element that will offset the line item charge. When you post the invoice it will debit the discount account and credit the sales account for the same amount and keep any activity from hitting the AR collective.
