select Enter Bills from the Enter Bills menu and use the Find button to locate
the bill(s) you want to delete.

Accounts Receivable Module-Problem Solving
Why won’t the system let me delete a duplicate customer account that was created
in error?
 In order to delete a customer account, the account has to have a $0 balance.
Since this is a duplicate account, you can merge the two accounts together
instead of deleting one.
 To do this, select Renumber Customers from the Customer menu.
