Glad to see you here, @batvalil.

 

I'm here to help walk you through clearing out your customer's old balance in the system. Let's get started!

 

To start with, let's create a general journal entry to write off your accounts receivables. Here's how:

  1. Create the appropriate journal entry.
    1. Go to the Company menu.
    2. Choose Make General Journal Entries.
    3. In the Make General Journal Entries window, change the date and fill in the entry number if necessary.
      1. Go to the Account field.
      2. Select Accounts Receivable.
      3. Enter the amount under Debit column.
      4. Choose a Customer Name from the drop down list.
      5. In the next line, select the offset account.
      6. Type in the amount under Credit column.
  2. Apply the General Journal Entry to the Existing Credit.
    1. Click the Customers.
    2. Choose Receive Payments.
    3. Enter the name of the customer in Received From field.
    4. Select the invoice and choose Discounts & Credits.
    5. Under Credits tab, select the available credit.
    6. Click Done.
    7. Select Save & Close.

That should do it!
