You can waive, or forgive, interest notes. When you do this, you waive all of the interest or fees that the interest note includes. You might waive an interest note if, for example, a customer disputes the charges and you want to maintain a good business relationship with the customer.
If you do not want to waive complete interest notes, you can instead waive specific interest transactions or fees that are part of interest notes. For information about waiving specific interest transactions, see Waive interest on customer transactions (form). For information about waiving specific fees, see Waive fees (form).
If necessary, you can reinstate waived interest notes later. For more information, see Reinstate waived interest notes (form).
Note
The total amount to be waived cannot exceed any limits that have been set for waiving customer interest and fees. For more information, see Manage customer waive limits (form).
When interest notes are waived, a credit note, or adjustment invoice, is created for the customer. This is used to automatically settle, or pay off, the amount that is due on the interest notes. The waived amount is the total for the interest notes, minus any previous payments by the customer, and minus any fees or interest that were previously waived or written off. If the credit note amount exceeds what is owed by the customer, you can convert the balance that remains to a vendor payment, and give a refund to the customer. For more information, see Reimburse customers.
When you waive interest notes, a historical record is created that lists the user who entered the adjustment, the date and time of the adjustment, and other details. To view this record, click History on the Collect tab on the All customers list page. For more information, see Interest note adjustment history (form).
