Write off

Hi,


May be i use the “paid amount” on invoice wrong. I get sputtering erpenext every third submission.

In the paid amount i enter what a client actually paid, sometimes a bit more sometimes a bit less (" leave the change").

So I suggest that the difference between the grandtotal and the paid amount, be it positive or negative, is just recorded under the write off account, without any checks.

Regards robert

Hi Robert,

Thank you for your suggestion. Every time it helps to make system better.

We have decided to add an extra check field "Write off remaining amount". If it selected, write off related fields will be visible and fetched from "POS Settings". We will add write off account and write off cost center field in POS Settings as well. Write off Amount will also be auto calculated.


We will inform you once it is done.

Hello,

What type of account do I put in the “write off account” field in the POS setting?

What is a write off in erpnext?

thanks

@sofia Write off -
an example a customer has invoice of $100
but only pays $90

when you write off the remaining $10 balance - it means customer doesn’t need to pay and the invoice is considered paid. (it looks like a $10 discount has been applied)
