Receipt on charged off invoice

[TomR]

We charged off an invoice to bad debt several years ago, and just received a partial payment. My initial thought is to set up a G/L account for collection of bad debts, with the cash G/L as the offset. I would then simply do a G/L posting. Or is there a better way?

When you get in a receipt that had been already charged to bad debt you can just post it to miscellaneous income using a GL entry. That's what our accountant has us do.
