Here's how:
1. Click Reports at the left panel.
2. Select the search icon and type Accounts Receivable Ageing Detail.
3. Check which outstanding accounts receivable should be written off.
Once done, create a bad debts expense account. Please follow the steps below.
1. Click the Gear icon at the top right. Then, choose Charts of Accounts.
2. Select the New button to create new account.
3. Choose Expenses from the Account Type drop-down.
4. Select Bad debts in the Detail Type drop-down list.
5. Type “Bad debts.” in the Name field.
6. Hit the Save and close button.
