Remove Direct Bill Balances

Select this option if you do not plan to reconcile company direct bill business. This option removes the selected direct bill balances for one or all companies. This option will also zero the direct bill balance (DBAL) on the customer policy screen. The system accomplishes this by entering non-commissionable DBW (Direct Bill Write-Off) transactions that remove the balance on the direct bill items.

You should use this option if you know that all commissions have been paid up through a certain month (e.g. you receive a check from the company). It is recommended that you run Remove Direct Bill Balances every two to three months.
