Summary

This article explains the process to follow when you have classed an invoice as being bad debt and wish to write it off.

More Information

  • Go to " Sales Ledger Receipts".
  • Following the How do I Allocate a Payment to an Invoice? knowledge base article select the invoice you are going to write off.
  • Fill in all payment details and make sure that the "Payment Centre :" is set to your "Bad Debt" centre.
    • If you do not have a "Bad Debt" centre you will need to create one making sure that it is created as a 'Profit & Loss - Overhead'. (see article - How do I Create a Nominal Code?).


At the end of the V.A.T. quarter you will need to do a V.A.T. Journal on the amount within the "Bad Debt" Centre.
