Invoicees became uncleared

I'm using Quicken H&B 2007. I view my invoices "by cleared status." Uncleared invoices appear at the bottom of the list. Lately, a half dozen invoices that cleared about a year ago suddenly showed up as "uncleared". Other than cluttering up the view, I don't know if it causes any adverse affects, but I would like to mark them as "cleared" to restore the view to accuracy.

How can I restore those items to cleared status?

------------------------------------------------

Invoices get "cleared" when they get "paid".

If you subsequently delete or modify the payment, the invoice will likely become uncleared (there is usually a warning relating to this).

You might be able to re-clear the invoice by opening the payment transaction, unchecking, then checking, the invoice number, then (re)Entering the payment transaction.

I understand. These invoices were paid about a year ago and stayed cleared until just a couple of days ago.

Each item shows up with its accompanying payment. I did nothing to modify or delete those payments.

I'll give that a try.

I just did a small test. It probably doesn't reflect the exact cause of your problem, but it might give you an idea.

I did a Find/Replace and changed the payee name for several invoice transactions and their payment transactions.

Prior to the name change, the invoice transactions with that specific payee name and their associated payment transactions were "cleared". After the name change, none of the invoice transactions with that payee name, or their associated payment transactions, were cleared.

I deleted the payment transactions then re-entered them for the same dates and they became cleared again. Quicken did complain because the items I deleted had been reconciled, but I don't see any ill effects.
