Mass Change for Bad Debt
How do I Complete a Mass Change for Bad Debt Items?
The Controller’s office (General Accounts Receivable, or GAR) will use the Mass Change process to mark items that are
more than 120 days old for the Bad Debt Reserve. GAR will run the mass change monthly for three University Business
Units (ARGAR, ARDAR, ARSOM) and will be responsible for reviewing flagged items and unflagging any that should not
be included in Bad Debt Reserve.
The reversing GL allocation, scheduled for Day 4 of month-end close following AR/BI close, will then reclass these items
from Accounts Receivable to the Bad Debt Reserve account.

This process will check the items over 120 days old with a Status of Collection, a Collection Code of “BAD” and will also
populate the Collection Date with the current date. These items are stored in a customer table (EU_AR_BAD_DEBT)
which contains all of the item information including the full ChartField string. This table is the source of the Bad Debt GL
Allocation.
