A customer invoice is not paid or is partially paid, or a $0.00 balance appears on the A/R Aging Reports after you create a write-off for a customer in Accounting Professional or in Accounting Express
After you create a write-off for a customer in Microsoft Office Accounting Professional or in Microsoft Office Accounting Express, you experience one of the following symptoms:
- The customer invoice is not paid or is partially paid.
- A $0.00 balance appears on the A/R Aging Reports.
This problem may occur if the following conditions are true:
- You use the Write Off command on the Actions menu to create a write-off for a customer from the customer record.
- You did not apply the write-off journal entry to an outstanding invoice.
To resolve this problem, apply the write-off journal entry to the outstanding customer invoices.
For more information about how to apply a payment or a credit to an invoice, see the "Apply a customer credit to an invoice" topic in Accounting Professional Help or in Accounting Express Help.
Note A customer's balance is the difference between the unpaid invoices and the outstanding credits. The customer may also display a positive balance or a negative balance. This balance may agree or may not agree with the balance that appears in the Customer Payment window for the same reason.
Steps to reproduce the problem
- In an Accounting Professional or an Accounting Express sample company, point to New on the Customers menu, and then click New Invoice.
- In the Customer Name field, click a customer to create an invoice.
- In the Products and Service pane, select an item.
- Click Save and Close.
- On the Customers menu, point to Customer Lists, and then click Customers.
- Right-click the customer who you created in step 2, and then click Open Selected Items.
- On the Actions menu, click Write Off, and then enter the required information.
- On the Customers menu, point to Customer Lists, and then click Invoices.
- Double-click the invoice that you saved in step 4.
- Verify that the Invoice status displays Not Paid or Partially Paid.

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
