In some cases the customer pays a littlebit less or more than invoiced. Sometimes it is 0.1 or 0.05 euro. I know there is a function in the financial module for write-off. If I use this function and give the accountnumber for the write-off the write-off doesn't take place. I am working with Dutch scheme. Is this a bug? Or am I doing something wrong?

Update 11 March '13 based on comment of Mohammed Ali and further testing: In my situation the result was "The Write-Off could be found on the Profit and Loss Report. So far so good. But one problem remained: the write-off amount (In our case 0.01) was still to be found in the Aged Partner Balance report. That's should be zero right?"

First we set the write-off to "Write-off" 498000. At first we have set our internal type to 'regular' and account to expense. A second test we made a new account 498001 with part of the parent account "Other Income and Expenses", same parameters. A thirth test we have set 498001 type to receivable and we set account to 'receivable'.

Additional testing with differences in type and account give the result (or look alikes): "ValidateError Error occurred while validating the field(s) user_type,type: Configuration Error! You can not select an account type with a deferral method different of "Unreconciled" for accounts with internal type "Payable/Receivable"!

The result of the three tests is the same. Write off account 0.01 but the account payable has still 0.01 open.

Also, I'm really wondering if I should set the 'allow reconciliation' option for this account to active. Could somebody explain to me what this option does?

The result of a search on the account gives:
