You can view detailed information on a write off via the Tabs3 Billing Matter Manager. This allows you to see the original billed amount as well as the fees, expenses, and/or advances written off. Each timekeeper, cost type, tax amount, and/or finance charge that was written off is also shown, along with statement information.

Lists are available via the File | Open menu in Tabs3 Billing or by searching the Quick Launch for “clients,” “contacts,” “client funds,” “fees,” “costs,” “payments,” and “write offs.” The data entry windows for these record types are now available via File | Data Entry or by searching the Quick Launch for “client information,” “contact information,” “client funds entry,” “fee entry,” “cost entry,” and payment entry.”
Filtering
Filtering is a powerful feature. For example, you could filter the Client file to only show clients for which you’re the primary timekeeper. As another example, you could filter the Fee file to only show fees entered in the last week. There are a few ways to filter in the lists.

Did you know that you can write off all or a portion of a client’s accounts receivable balance? When a write off is performed using the Write Off Client program, a special write off record is created and stored in the client ledger file for audit trail purposes and adjustments are made to receipt allocation records. Write offs can also be shown on the next statement (provided a description-only transaction is entered when the write off is performed).
The Write Off Client program is used to write off all or a portion of a client’s accounts receivable balance. If you select to write off an individual statement, you have the option of writing off the entire statement or selecting which portion of the statement you want to write off. You also have the option of writing off the balance for all timekeepers or a specific timekeeper for all statements or an individual statement.
To perform a write off
Additionally, you have the option of reversing a write off if you find the write off was in error, or you want to change the way the write off was performed.
To reverse a write off
From time to time, you may need to reduce a client’s outstanding balance, but how can this be accomplished? The Tabs3 Billing Write Off Clients training video walks you through the process of writing off all or part of a client’s balance.
