Thanks David, After about 9 years of using GnuCash, I've also found myself now having to write off a couple of non-paying invoices. Thanks for the link, it explains it a bit better, I think I will try it on a test system first, just to make sure I understand the steps correctly. Thanks, Jeff.

Eric, The image you attached did not appear to contain anything. Presumably you raised an invoice when you billed the client which would have created an entry debiting Accounts Receivable and crediting the appropriate income account. To record the bad debt you would create a transaction which
