hi
written off is reducing debit balances which are no longer and show as an expenses. however written back is reducing credit balances and claiming as income.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WRITTEN OFF & WRITTEN BACK:
WRITTEN BACK:- IT MEANS TO TAKE REVERSE THE EXCESS PROVISION MADE.
FOR EXAMPLE IF YOU MAKE A PROVISION FOR SUNDRY CREDITORS AND AFTER MAKE ALL ACCOUNTING ENTRIES THE PROVISION FOR CREDITOR A/C REMAINING BALANCE THEN YOU CAN MAKE A REVERSE ENTRY OF THIS BALANCE AMOUNT AND IT MAY IMPACT REVERSE OF THE PREVIOUS ENTRY IN P/L A/C.
WRITTEN OFF: IT MEANS THAT YOU HAVE A BALANCE IN YOUR BOOKS AND IT MAY NOT POSSIBLE TO REALIZED IN FUTURE.
TO CLEAR THE BALANCE IN THE BOOKS OF ACCOUNT THESE TYPE OF AMOUNT CAN BE WRITE OFF.
I THINK NOW IT IS CLEAR THAT ONE IS USED FOR ADJUST THE EXCESS PROVISION AND OTHER IS USED FOR UNREALISED AMOUNT.

Provisions & liabilities are "written back" whereas "write off" is assoiciated with balances i.e. assets which are no longer realisable.
This is what was told to me by my senior once, I hope it is clear.

As far i think write back of creditors is to raise the balance of creditors. So if it is that then entry will be:
P/L Dr
To Creditors
as to reduce the creditors which are no longer payable we must have passed:
Creditors Dr
To P/L

If an amount not collectable we can call it as "write off" thro' bad debts. But in the subsquent year if the same amount received we can call back as "write back' & treat it as misc income.

An amount that cannot be realised is written off. It is in relation to losses on an asset. A write off may be done by the direct write off method or the allowance method.
In writing back, the value of an asset that has been previously written down (reduced), is raised. There may be tax implications for this write back.

An increase in the value of an asset after a previously made write down, which is a record of a decrease in value. A write-back may have capital gains tax implications, as higher value generally translates to higher taxes
