Doubtful Sales Invoices (tfacr2140m000)

Use this session to maintain the status of sales invoices. You can change the status of an invoice to doubtful or not doubtful.

You can select or clear the Doubtful check box to indicate if an invoice is doubtful or not. If a payment schedule is linked to the invoice, the status applies to all the open payment schedule lines. You can not mark individual payment schedule lines as Doubtful.

To change the status of all invoices for one business partner, use the options on the appropriate menu.

Note: 

You can only mark an invoice as doubtful if:

  • The invoice has no unposted transactions.
  • The invoice has no anticipated receipts.

When you close this session, the amount of the new doubtful invoices listed here, is posted to a special ledger account for doubtful invoices. This ledger account is defined in the Ledger Accounts by Business Partner Group (tfacr0111m000) session. The doubtful amount is posted using the transaction type and document number displayed at the bottom of the screen.

The invoices whose status is changed from doubtful to non-doubtful are posted back to the control account defined for the invoice's business partner.

Note: 

On the balance sheet, the accounts receivable amount is split up into two different amounts:

  • The doubtful accounts receivable amount.
  • The non-doubtful accounts receivable amount.
