$0 (Zero Dollars) payments are often mishandled in ASPIRE.
In the past, users have been entering $0 payments on the payment stream to fill any gaps for deferred payments on a contract. This works well until a credit memo needs to be generated on the deal beyond a $0 payment. The system does not create any invoices for $0 payment entries and so you are unable to credit memo them. The only way to resolve this is by a script.
The best practice in these cases is not to enter any $0 payments in the payment stream. ASPIRE does not need the placeholder. It will calculate the interest correctly whether there is a $0 payment or not.
