Importing Paid Invoices - Possibility?

Importing Paid Invoices - Possibility?

Hi! 

I've recently joined, and I'm looking to properly set my business on Zoho. I plan to bring the opening balances as of November this year, but importing certain master data like my customer base, etc.

We deal strictly in services, no inventory is kept.

Now this seems like a far-fetched question, but I wanted to keep a history of all my paid invoices against my customers from 2018 till November. This will aid greatly when running the impressive set of reports and dashboards available. 

  1. Even when importing invoices, even if the invoice status is set to "paid" it would still be imported as draft (unless I am doing it wrong or not possible at all)
  2. If the above is not possible, is there any workaround I could possibly do? 
I suspect the answer may be a simple no, but thought it would best to ask!
