Write-off balances and credits (AR505000)
This topic gives you information about the elements that you find in this window in Visma.net ERP, such as fields, field values, buttons, and check boxes.
You use this window to write off balances or credits. You can select documents by customer, post
period, and type of write-off operation.
As a result of processing, the system does
the following:
- Generates documents of the Balance write-off or Credit write-off types depending on write-off operation you have selected.
- Releases these documents regardless of the value of the Hold documents on entry check box in the Customer ledger preferences (AR101000) window.
- Generates batches of appropriate transactions with the Unposted or Posted status, depending on the value of the Automatically post on release check box in the Customer ledger preferences (AR101000) window.
- Applies each generated document to the corresponding document that you have written balance or credit off and closes both documents.
For more information, see: Write-off methods - overview.
