Hi sherrine

You can create a supplier credit > apply credit > select the relevant credit > save. We'd recommend also speaking to an accountant as they may suggest a different way  to record the write off.

Hello Sherrine, 

 

Welcome to the Community page, 

 

Has the supplier cancelled it, if so you can do a supplier credit? If the supplier has not cancelled it then it would be a bill that is still open, that you should not really be writing it off.

The previous account person entered this invoice which is 2 years old and i cannot trace it anywhere and it's a telephone bill which i'm sure if it was outstanding it would still show on our account. So shall i just do a supplier credit note?
