BAD debts entry

Hello,

My question is in case of a situation where we have to make rent payment on behalf of third party and where we have parked the receivable entry on that third party a/c if that pary denies or fails to pay or  reimburse me can I pass bad debts entry for that.

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how to handle bad debts when you've paid rent for a third party and they subsequently fail to reimburse you. The consensus is that you can indeed pass a bad debts entry in such scenarios. The recommended accounting treatment involves specific journal entries to move the receivable and then write it off as a bad debt.

Yes you can

Endorsee/receivables a/c

To Endorser/payables a/c

The above is the situation and then if he doesn’t pay

Bad debts a/c

To Endorsee a/c

or 

Endorser a/c

bad debt a/c

To Endorsee a/c

this is for a situation where you cancelled your payments against receivables and carried forward the loss if any

Saurav, what will you use, drawer/drawee, receivables/payments, endorser/Endorsee, debtor/Creditor
