The books have been closed as of May 31, 2018, and they are accrual basis. You have discussed the unpaid invoice with the client, and it was decided that the invoice should be written off as a bad debt. The "Auto Apply Credits" has been left switched on within your company settings.

Which entries should you make to remove the customer balance from the Accounts Receivable reports?

1. Use the "Write Off Invoices" option from within the Accountant Toolbox. The write-off must be dated on or after June 1, 2018.
