We get an 824 error message from one of our trading partners when we send
them a zero value invoice.  In our case, it's because the goods ordered have
a price of zero.  The invoice lines and header are in balance; the trading
partner's application just doesn't expect to see $0 invoices so it calls
them errors.

To clarify my previous suggestion:  I would imagine you would have a
non-zero value for one or more lines and a zero total.  In order for the
invoice to balance you would need to included an allowance equal to the
total value; I was wondering if there is a special allowance code for
"amount prepaid".  I would be surprised if there wasn't.
