    first we will create the provision against debtors when it is confirmed we record the write off as follows:

    Total Receivable Amount 250000

    Cash Received 40000

    Net receivable 210000

    Provision for bed debts

    210000 * 20% 42000

    bed debt expense 42000

    provision for bed debts 42000

    To record the 20% provision for bed debts

    Provision For debts 10000

    Account receiveable 10000

    To record the bed expense write off
