Partial Write-off (FINA070 - SIGAFIN)

This is characterized by writing off a bill receivable with value lower than the original.

Situations where a partial write-off may occur:

• Receipt of part of a bill amount;
• Partial return of goods;
• Application of customer's/supplier's pending credit/debit with amount lower than the bill amount.

What determines the partial write-off of a bill receivable is the field Amount Received. If the amount received, after deductions and increments, is lower than the bill balance, it is characterized as partial write-off.

Note that the bills with partial write-off present the status in blue in the routine maintenance window.
