# How to Write-Off a Bill

**Only a Bill that is Due can be Written-Off**. _For Example, A Patient was billed for an Acne Treatment- Rs. 1500 and 2 products, AVEDERM Soothing Facing Cleanser- Rs. 50 and Averderm Cream- Rs. 35. The total bill amount is Rs. 1585 but the Patient is short on money and that is given as a credit to the Patient. 6 months pass and the Patient does not come back and the bill remains due. Finally, you accept the outstanding Rs.1585 will never get paid and decide to write-off the due._

_Please note: Once a bill is Written-Off it cannot be undone, hence the Bill must be Written-Off with careful consideration._
