Query about write off debtors & creditors

pass the journal both but again you have in balance sheet

Dr.Written Off

Cr. Party's A/c

If you want to close S.Drs account

for creditor, it can't be as per written in real basis.. but if the amount is small and sure that u won't pay .. then u can write off... but anyway, in audit they will ask the reason for such write off..

entry:
Dr: party (s.crds) a/c
cr: misc income(or) liability no longer payable account (or) discount received.
but if the amount not material (small)you can prefer to adjust it with crediting bad debts, thereby reducing the total bad debts balance also..
