    Writing off Bad Debt
Good Business Practice on Non-Collectable Invoices

We strongly recommend that you adjust off any invoices over 1 year old, so that:

 

1. The age balance reflects what is collectable

2. You recover sales tax paid on these invoices via the adjusting process

3. Invoices over a year are turned over to collection

 

Good business operations can support a past due amount 1.5 to 2.0 times monthly billing.

 

Tracking Bad Debt Customers

There are many ways to track these accounts after closing out these invoices including, but not limited to:

 

1. Setting credit limit to -1

2. Adding a popup note coded with "POPBAD" that lists the total amount adjusted off and shows up whenever you enter the site. In addition you can get a report list of all "POPBAD" notes.

3. Set status field for site to "BADDBT", bad debt.

 

 

Never say it at work
THINGS YOU'LL NEVER HEAR AN EMPLOYEE TELL HIS/HER BOSS

1. Never give me work in the morning. Always wait until 5:00 and then bring it to me. The challenge of a deadline is always refreshing.

2. If it's really a "rush job," run in and interrupt me every 10 minutes to inquire how it's going. That greatly aids my efficiency.

3. Always leave without telling anyone where you're going. It gives me a chance to be creative when someone asks where you are.

4. If you give me more than one job to do, don't tell me which is the priority. Let me guess.

5.  Do your best to keep me late. I like the office and really have nowhere to go or anything to do. 

6. If a job I do pleases you, keep it a secret. Leaks like that could get me a promotion.

7. If you don't like my work, tell everyone. I like my name to be popular in conversations.

8. If you have special instructions for a job, don't write them down. If fact, save them until the job is almost done.
