We have never sent Invoices with zero quantities. In most cases, if nothing
was shipped, no ASN was created, nothing is transferred to A/R, etc.

Of course, if anyone shipped nothing they are usually looking at a big non-
compliance fine ;-(

Sending a zero $ invoice is the _least_ of their problems.
