Reduce WIP: Write Out
When you post an invoice it is the write out field that is used to reduce your client’s WIP balance and match the invoice to your staff member’s time. For example, if you want to reduce your client’s WIP balance from £500 to £300, you can enter 200 in the write out field (500 less 300 equals 200).

Write Out All Jobs
When you reduce WIP with an invoice, one write out method available to you is to write out to All Jobs. The All Jobs button can be used as a quick method of clearing WIP from multiple jobs. For example, you may have one job for Accounts and the WIP is showing for £1000, you may also have another job for Tax and the WIP is showing for £500. The all jobs feature can be used as a quick way of writing out time.
