Writing off a subscription receivable after all dunning attempts (automated retries) have failed.

| Accounts Receivable / Deferred Revenue | Asset/Liability (-) | - | 297.00 |
💡 Accountant's Note
Failed payment recovery is a unique challenge in SaaS. After exhausting dunning retries, the outstanding amount is written off. This also reverses any previously recognized revenue if still in deferred status.
