Guide to the bad debt program
The bad debt program can be used to write off the outstanding
balance on a clients record card so that the vat can be claimed
back in practices that are standard accounting, ie pay vat on work.
- Check to see if a record card exists for bad debt account -
usually set up as number 2.
- If it does not exist then add a new client and call the client
surname, Bad Debt Account. Edit the vaccination field so the
recall field = 0 and the Send Bill field to no.
- Edit the status field on anyone's record card, that you wish
to write off to BD.
- Choose GENERAL APPLICATIONS from the main menu.
- Choose BAD DEBT PROGRAM and answer (Y) to continue.
- Enter client to start at (1) .... Press return.
- Enter client to end at (END) ....Press return.
- Bad debt account no (2) .... Press return.
- The program will then work through all the record cards writing
off the balances onto the Bad Debt Card.
- When it has finished it will ask you to press return and then
continue y/n. Choose N for no and then press return to get back
to the main menu.
