GL Distribution button...
The two common methods for writing off small balances are:
-
Use a Cash Receipt Code with the AR/GL flag set to "Both." Enter a check# such as "WRTOFF" with a zero dollar amount. Credit the desired amount as if it were a payment, then select "GL Distribution" and enter the same amount in a miscellaneous over/short or other GL account.
-
Set up a Cash Receipt Code with the "Deposit Amt and Adjustments" and "Discount" checkboxes both unmarked. This eliminates the entry of a dollar amount and forces the user to distribute the write-off to an appropriate account rather than the default discount account.
