Writing off a final client invoice

You can write off a final invoice in > Manage > Client Invoices or > Manage > Client Receipts.

When no receipts are applied to the final invoice, you can change the invoice status to Write-off by using > Manage > Client Invoices. Changing the invoice status to Write-off creates a credit memo and makes adjusting entries to the Accounts Receivable and Write-off or Billed Revenue accounts. When you write off a final invoice, the WIP is still attached to the invoice with a billable WIP status.

Use > Manage > Client Receipts in these situations:

  • If the Final client invoice has a cash receipt or credit memo applied to it, you must unapply the receipt or issue a credit memo for the balance of the invoice.
  • To write off the invoice in full, you must unapply the receipts.
  • To write off only part of a final client invoice, enter a credit memo. If you need documentation for your client, go to the Existing tab in > Manage > Client Receipts, select the credit memo, and click the Print button.

To write off a final invoice in > Manage > Client Invoices:

  1. From the > Manage menu, click Client Invoices.
  2. For the invoice you want to write off, click the arrow for status and select Write-off
  3. If you selected the Enter accounting date check box in company preferences, you may be asked to enter an accounting date. Either change or leave the accounting date that Ajera suggests; it is the earliest date allowable.
  4. If you select the Reduce project billed amount check box, Ajera reduces revenue billed on financial reports instead of recognizing it as a write off. In reporting for the project, Ajera recognizes it as a write off because the billed and spent amounts are not equal.
  5. If you do not select the check box, the financial reports recognize this as a write off and the project reports recognize this amount as billed.
  6. Click OK.
