Write Off Invoices

This function allows you to write off one or more Invoices. This might be necessary when you know with certainty that any outstanding Invoices for a particular Customer will not be paid, for example because of bankruptcy. The function can also be used to write off small differences remaining on the Sales Ledger. The function creates a record in the Receipt register that assumes the outstanding amount is to be written off.

The Receipts created by this function are not approved, and it is therefore possible to modify or delete them before they are approved. On approval, a Nominal Ledger Transaction is created in which the amount written off is debited to the Write Offs Account specified on the 'Exchange Rate' card of the Account Usage S/L setting.

!	Note that you must make an entry to at least one of the fields in the dialogue box shown below. Leaving all the fields blank will write off all outstanding Invoices.
