Cancelling debt the company owes

One of our directors is owed money by the company, but he is happy to ‘donate’ the debt to the company. He expects nothing in return, so it’s not a ‘debt to equity’ issue. Does anyone have any bright ideas as to how we should deal with this in Quickfile? Currently the money is logged as a Prepayment (the director is also a client).
Thanks

Hi,

I might be able to help with the double entry for this.

I’m guessing that because the money is logged as a pre-payment, it will have been entered initially into QF as a bank receipt tagged to prepayments.

Say it is £250, then the double entry in QF, at that time, would have looked like this:

If the customer (director) wants to ‘donate’, then I would move that money out of Prepayments and into Misc Income.

You’d have to create a new journal and this would be the double entry:

That’s how I would do it.

Hope this helps :+1:
