Charges : Charge Write-Offs

Charge Write-Offs
You may need to write off a charge, or a range of charges, when you know you cannot collect payment. This procedure creates a reversing transaction and a receipt for the reversing transaction. For information about reversing a charge, see “Charge Reversal”.
To select charges to write off

From the side menu, select Charges > Write Off Charge. The Write Off Charge filter appears. The filter has two parts. The top part locates charges to be written off. The bottom part determines how the charges are written off.
