Probably the more formal method would be to create, Assets:Current Assets:Accounts Receivable:Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
then ‘pay’ the original invoice with that asset account, then move that amount (once determined you definitely won’t collect it) to Expenses:Bad Debt. 'Allowance for Doubtful Accounts' is usually a calculated estimation that later gets written off to expenses at the end of the period, but I don’t see why you can’t use it in this fashion all at once.
