- Request a supported adjustment
- Updates Write-offs, Invoices, Collections cases
-
Approve the write-off Controller / CFO
Controller / CFO reviews the current obligation and approves or rejects the request. The requester cannot replace the Controller decision. Recheck the balance after intervening payments and credits.
- Authorize the reviewed write-off amount
- Updates Write-offs, Invoices
ApprovalA person approves before the work moves on. -
Confirm the posting System
The ledger connector retains the source-attributed journal result. Approval alone does not produce write-off applied; the reduction follows confirmed Posted status. Partial write-offs leave the remainder collectible.
- Record the confirmed reduction once
- Updates Write-offs, Invoices
-
Reconcile or reverse Controller / CFO
Controller / CFO reconciles the posted register and open AR. A reversal retains its linked external entry and restores only the affected reduction. Do not edit the original posted request to conceal a correction.
- Preserve the adjustment and correction history
