Entries Not Involving Cash [Edited]

Question

Is it possible to make an entry that does not involve cash?  for example, can I reduce my A/C Receivable (credit an asset) and increase my Bad Debt Expense (debit an expense) with Quicken???   Thanks

Of course.  You don't need to start an entry in a bank or cash account.  Go to your receivable account and make an entry either as a Transfer to the bad debt account or categorize it to an expense.
