Hi,

Is it legal to invoice a product at $0 according to accounting standards and how?
We invoice many product on a single invoice and one of this product is free, so we invoice it 1 units at 0$.
Is it the way to do it or it should be on a different invoice and referenced?

"Legal" and "according to accounting standards" are two different things. Accounting standards don't determine what information invoices contain.

Instead of invoicing the item at zero, you might include a line like "Trade discount extended" for the price of one item. The net cost to the customer will be the same, and the accounting treatment will be more obvious.
