Hi I’m trying to remove a reverse bad debt write-off which has appeared on my P&L account sheet. I have tried to find the original bad debt journal from the previous year and i assume I’ve accidentally set up a reverse bad debt but can’t seem to remove it. The original invoice is locked also because of VAT. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Hi @tomschumann
When you reverse a bad debt, an entry is made on the nominal ledger. This isn’t something that can be removed unfortunately. It’s kept there as part of an audit log.
I don’t want to get rid of the bad debt as it was written off in 2018-2019, but now the same amount has appeared in this year’s account (2019-2020) as a credit and I’ve just checked 2020-21 and it appears there too as a debit). I don’t know how to switch the ‘reoccurring amount’ off. Surely there must be a way to do this as it is not an expense and doesn’t exist anymore. I read somewhere that you get rid of the reversal date but I can’t find how to do this. Hope this makes sense. Helen
