Function documentationWrite-Off History

 

Write-off data provides information on a business partner's payment history. In the write-off history, you have quick access a business partner's or a contract account's write-off data.

Integration

The system automatically updates the write-off history when an amount is written off. It can also be updated automatically during mass write-off, depending on your authorization.

Any write-off documents that are reversed are also noted in the write-off history.

Features

The write-off history is updated automatically in the system. It provides the following information:

  • Write-off document number

  • Write-off date

  • Write-off reason

  • Write-off amount and currency

  • Statistical indicator of document that has been written off

  • Origin of write-off document

  • Reversal indicator for write-off document

Using a prepared enhancement, you can also display contract fields in the write-off history. When you post a write-off document for items with contract account assignment, the system saves the new entries in the write-off history with the data of the contract. After you have activated the enhancement, you can also select the returns history by contract.

You can add the appropriate contract data to history entries that already existed at the time you activated the enhancement.
