Writing Off a Balance

When writing off a balance in Personify, users can write-off all or part of the line item’s balance.  A write-off is used for an order in which receiving payment is unlikely or impossible.  This screen eliminates credit balances and debit balances on orders that are not collectable or when the balance is too small to warrant further action.  If needed, credit balances can be written off in AR.  All write-offs must be performed at the line level instead of the order level.

Note:  Users cannot write-off a balance for an inventoried product that has not been shipped.

Note:  All write-off MUST be approved via Finance.

1.    To conduct a write-off in the system, it is important to review the order needing adjustment.  Using the Order Entry screen, highlight the line that needs an write-off.

2.    From the screen task category Work with Line Items, click on the Adjust the Price screen task.

3.    The Price Adjustments window will appear.  From the Price Adjustment section, update the option to be Write-off Balance.

4.    Adjustment Amount.  This needs to be a negative number to lower the balance.

5.    Update the Adjustment Reason as to why the revenue is being adjusted.

6.    Click Save to save the changes.

The line will adjust and the balance will increase or decrease based upon the input.  Verify the results on the Resulting Price Details section.
