Write-Off:

This procedure is best if you want to Write-Off the remainder of a Bill while you are applying a payment.

  1. Locate and view the Bill that you want to apply a Write-Off to (by clicking the Bill ID number)
  2. Click the More actions button
  3. Click Record Payment
  4. Enter in the Source (as Direct Payment if no other Payment is being recorded right now)
  5. Enter the Payment Amount. This can be a partial payment amount so that you can write-off the remaining amount, or enter a payment of 0 if you are writing off the entire outstanding amount shown. Once you click outside of this box, the 'Write offs' box shown below will appear, with the amount that will be written off.
  6. Tick the box under Write offs to write-off the remaining amount shown
  7. (Optional) Add notes in the Description box, for future reference. Please note that the Description would only be available for future reference for partial write-offs with the Direct Payment selected as the Source (Not Credit Card).
  8. Click Record Payment
