What is the Write Offs Report?

Sometimes it is necessary to write off a Clients outstanding amount on an Invoice by "writing off" part or All of the outstanding balance. 

Examples of a write off may be:

• When the client says they are not going to pay and/or you consider the money un-recoverable.
• When the amount outstanding is very small. For example, a client pays $45 instead of $46. Rather than chase the outstanding $1.00, you "write off" the amount and mark her invoice paid in full.

The Write Offs Report contains a list of all payment write offs made against a Clients Invoice and are defined by your custom date range 

Similar to other reports, direct access to a Client Account is available by clicking on the blue Client Name once you created your report. When you have drilled into the Client Account, clicking the orange back button will return you to the write offs report.

In addition, clicking on the Invoice number in this report will drill down directly into the Invoice and show the entered reason for the write off. Clicking on the orange back button will also return you to the write offs report.
