How to write off the unpaid invoice?

When the report is run by you or you try to open any unpaid invoice, the only option you see is the received payment and enter the monetary amount in the block of the amount paid, before you even get the choice to write off the unpaid balance.

As you believe that you won’t be able to receive the unpaid balance, the only option left with you is to show at least payment of 1 cent, and going further the remaining you can write off.
