writeoff_debts.pl --verbose <filter options>
writeoff_debts.pl --help
<filter options> are:
[--type <type>] [--file <file>] [--added-before <date>]
[--added-after <date>] [--category-code <category code>]
This script batch waives debts.
The options to select the debt records to writeoff are cumulative. For example, supplying both --added_before and --type specifies that the accountline must meet both conditions to be selected for writeoff.
You must pass at least one of the filtering options for the script to run. This is to prevent an accidental 'writeoff all' operation. Please note that --category-code must be accompanied by another filter - the script will not run if this is the only filter provided.
