08 November 2010 If you donot have any problem in controlling it mannualy, its all right. But my suggestion it maintain it debtor code wise. your provide customer code to all the debtors and make the entries in related debtor's only.

15 March 2011 The problem will come in the year in which there are any bad debts and you want to write them off - As you will not have individual debtors brk up.. it will be hard to claim tht as a deduction... Else no problem other than the control issues highlighted by other members
