 +======  ======
 +
 +
 +
 +When an balance due on an order is determined to be "uncollectable", Control provides a mechanism to write-off the balance.  
 +
 +
 +
 +Like a payment, write-off reduces the balance due on the order and corresponding accounts receivable.  Unlike a payment, however, the amount of the reduction is an expense (or contra-income).
 +
 +**Notes:**
 +  * You can only write-off an order in a sales status.
 +  * Unlike editing an order and reducing the amount of the order, write-off do not reduce any sales tax owed.
 +  * Although not required by Control, generally write-offs are used to reduce the entire remaining balance due.
