Bad debts

Explanation:
scientific research: I put the term into French (non-valeur) and came up with this answer. As a non-entity in this field, I frankly don't have a clue if it's right or wrong!

given the asker\'s note, \"null values\" could still apply as this could refer to invoice lines with a \"zero value\" for products with no monetary value (samples, demos, etc.). I know this from having done invoices myself for too long.........;)

valueless (worthless) securities / Nonvaleurs / non-valeurs

Explanation:
Could this be related to shares / securities, i.e:

valueless (worthless) securities / Nonvaleurs / non-valeurs

e.g.

valueless (worthless) securities / Nonvaleurs / non-valeurs / titoli privi di valore
Non-performing securities which have lost all or most of their value, or which appear worthless due to specific circumstances. Such securities can, however, become attractive again at a later date, e.g. if the company is taken over or restructured.

cancelled debts/receivables

Explanation:
after doing some more searching and thinking, I'm wondering if this has to do with debts or receivables that have been either cancelled or written off.
Just a thought........
