Two invoices to same customer.
Both added together = £937.20
Customer paid £936.70, i.e. 50p short.
Isn’t worth the hassle of chasing so how to write off on shortfall invoice?

Hi fopetesl,
Is there vat involved? May this helps:

Bad Debt - Part Paid Invoice

Hi Team, Please can you advise on writing off a customer debt associated with a part paid invoice. I have previously used the ‘Mark as Bad Debt’ facility for customer invoices with full balance outstanding, however never I have never used it for part paid. Does the ‘Mark as Bad Debt’ facility write off the outstanding balance only or the entire invoice balance? (which in this case has been locked down Ref: previous VAT return). Any advice is much appreciated. Thank you very much!

Hi @fopetesl,

You can leave it for 6 months and when it is 6 months old you can class it as bad debt and write it off. You may however find it easier to create a credit note for the 50p so that you know where you are?

Thanks. Credit note raised.
Tidy’s up nicely.
