Hello there, @susan-hey. 

 

Thank you for posting here in the Community. Let me help you in writing off the balances of your invoices in QuickBooks. 

 

You can write off the supplier balance using the journal entry, and I'll show you the step-by-step instructions.

 

If this is an overpayment for the supplier, here's how:

 

  1. Go to Company > Make General Journal Entries.
  2. In the Make General Journal Entries window, change the date and fill in the Entry number if necessary.
  3. Select Accounts Payable from the Account drop-down menu.
  4. Enter the amount in the Credit column.
  5. Select the supplier's name from the Name drop-down list.
  6. In the next line, select the offset account and enter the amount in the Debit column.
  7. Hit Save & Close.

For suppliers with underpayment, follow the same steps above but in the first line, enter the amount in the Debit column. Then, select the offset account and enter the amount under the Credit column.
