Representing a write-off in MyCase for a client's outstanding balance

Updated over a week ago

Basic case management and end-to-end billing & online payments enables you to be more organized and get paid quickly.

OVERVIEW

There are a couple different ways to reflect writing off unpaid balances in MyCase:


Marking an item as "Non-Billable"

This option shows the cost of the flat fee, time or expense but also shows that you will not be charging for that item. It is helpful to add a comment in the description field as to why you are writing it off as "non-billable". Learn more about non-billable entries here.

Applying a discount to an Invoice

There may be times when you need to zero out or mark an invoice as paid in MyCase. Writing off a balance may help you avoid having an invoice marked as partially paid or overdue when you will not be collecting the remaining funds. You can accomplish this by utilizing the adjustment section within the invoice and selecting "discount."

First, you’ll want to navigate to the invoice with the balance you would like to write off. At the top left hand corner you will see the edit button. Scroll down until you reach the adjustments section and select add adjustment.
