# Creating Debit Reasons

You can create *Debit Reasons* for your Organization, which you can then use when adding a debit for an existing bill line item or applying a product debit.

**To create a Debit Reason for your Organization:**

1. Select **Settings>Organization**. The **Organization** page opens with the **Overview** tab selected.
2. Select the **Debit reasons** tab. Any existing Debit Reasons are listed:

3. Select **Create debit reason**. The **Create** page opens.
4. Under **Debit reason details**, enter a **Name** and **Code**.

* **Archived** switch? See tip below on this option.

5. Select **Create**. You are returned to the **Debit reasons** tab where the new Debit Reason is listed:

* The new Debit Reason will now be available for adding debit line items to bills or applying product debits. See [Adding Debit Line Items to Bills](/guides/billing-and-usage-data/running-viewing-and-managing-bills/adding-debit-line-items-to-bills).

<Tip>
  **Tip: Debit Reason is now obsolete?** You can edit a Debit Reason at any time and use the switch to **Archive** it. If you archive a Debit Reason, it will not be available for adding debit line items to bills.
