In Oracle Receivables, you can write off the following:
Unapplied receipt amounts
Underpayments on receipts
When you apply a receipt to debit items, a small unapplied amount may remain on the receipt. Receivables lets you write off unapplied receipt balances during or after receipt application.
With Receivables you can:
Use the Applications window to manually write off unapplied receipt balances
Use the Automatic Receipt Write-off program to automatically write off receipts
When a receipt underpays an invoice by a small amount, you can manually write off the underpayment rather than bill your customer for the difference.
To reverse the write off, you can unapply the original write-off application by unchecking the Apply check box in the Applications window for the write-off amount that you want to reverse.
When you write off a foreign currency receipt, Receivables uses the same exchange rate information from the original receipt for the write-off record.
When you adjust the exchange rate of a foreign currency receipt, Receivables reverses the write-off with the original exchange rate and then applies the new exchange rate to the write-off. Receivables reverses the write-off only if the converted amount does not exceed the system level write-off limit. If the converted amount exceeds the system level write-off limit, Receivables leaves the write-off amount as unapplied.
