How do I know if a payment has been received after an invoice is written off to bad debt?
Central AR has developed a recovery report so that local units can track their recoveries. In the event that a payment is received for an invoice(s) previously written off to bad debt, Central AR creates a debit memo (essentially replacing the original invoice) and then applies the receipt against this debit memo. The debit memo number that is created is the original invoice number followed by the letter R. This will appear in your detail listings as the reference number for a recovery.
