Insurance Industry Component
A business partner of a reinsurance company makes a partial payment of an open receivable. The accounting clerk responsible is already aware when the payment is received that this business partner has filed for bankruptcy, and that further payments are unlikely. In this instance, the accounting clerk can manually clear the receivable with the partial payment received in account maintenance, and post the remaining difference direct to an individual adjustment account using short account assignment.
