Unpaid Invoices that were paid years ago

Question

I have a list of unpad invoices that were paid 10 years ago. I think the issue is I had to restart my main account file so it only goes back to 2022, but these invoices were created and paid in 2015 - 2017. Is there a way to clear these even though the account they were paid to doesn't go back that far any more? My thought was to either (a) clear ou the old invoices or (b) put the older account transactions back into the account they were paid into. I don't want to do (b) since it will likely introduce a balance nightmare. Another thought was to simply credit those old invoices to another account, like Cash, just so they would show as cleared.

I have a similar problem where a number of old invoices and credits got detached from their payments. So they keep showing up in the list of bills to be paid. If this was in a regular register, I could just mark them all Cleared, but I can't do this in an Invoice account. The suggestion by UKR seems to be a really klutzy workaround. Surely there's a way to deal with this more elegantly.

If these "unpaid invoices" are recorded in your current Quicken data file, in your current Customer Invoices account register, you can

* delete the invoice record 
* or, if you want to keep the invoice record in your Customer Invoices account register, mark it as VOID (right-click on invoice record, select Void transaction from popup). Make a note of original invoice amount in Memo field.
