Hi Shereen, If we cancel an invoice, we are acknowledging a mistake was made and any payments applied to it are reversed. See the seca for setInvoiceStatus at
https://fisheye6.atlassian.com/browse/ofbiz/trunk/applications/accounting/servicedef/secas_ledger.xml?hb=true#to104 which makes a call to cancelInvoice at https://fisheye6.atlassian.com/browse/ofbiz/trunk/applications/accounting/script/org/ofbiz/accounting/invoice/InvoiceServices.xml?r=1051608#to638 A written off invoice is one where we don't expect any further payment from the invoicee, but existing payments still apply. There are GL accounts for expenses associated with writeoffs at https://fisheye6.atlassian.com/browse/ofbiz/trunk/applications/accounting/data/DemoGeneralChartOfAccounts.xml?hb=true#to819 but I couldn't find anywhere these are used at the moment in Ofbiz. Hope that helps Paul Foxworthy Shereen wrote: Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2011 04:12:57 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Difference Bteween write off and cancel in invoices Hi All Can anyone explain to me difference between the status "write off" and "Cancel" in invoices? financially is there a difference? what points should I consider when I change the status of the invoice to "write off" or "cancel" Thanks in Advance -- Coherent Software Australia Pty Ltd PO Box 2773 Cheltenham Vic 3192 Phone: (03) 9585 6788 Fax: (03) 9585 1086 Web: http://www.cohsoft.com.au/ Email: [email protected] Bonsai ERP, the all-inclusive ERP system http://www.bonsaierp.com.au/
