If you talking about short receipt from a debtor, debit bad debts account and credit the debtor account for the amount short received.

If you talking about short payment to creditor and the creditor is not claiming the balance amount, the same may be credited to "Unclaimed Liabilities Written back" or any other suitable head of acccount.
