Interesting suggestion! I’ll add this to our list of possible ideas, and mention it at our next team meeting :)

Thanks for the suggestion! I can definitely see how this would be a useful feature, but it’s also a fairly rare case in our experience, so it’s not yet on our roadmap. If we do eventually add it, we’ll want to make sure that it works in a non-confusing way, as we’ve found that various other features that transfer debt (the “simplify debts” setting in groups, etc) can sometimes cause serious confusion for the people involved.

Thanks for your feedback. Can you please give a little more context about when you’d use this feature? Thanks.
An error occurred while saving the comment Adrian commentedThere are many reasons this can be useful:
- A group of friends had mutltiple events one time person A is short on money and B lends. Another time Person C pays the bill for simplicity. Person A, now having money again, offers Person B I'm going to pay your and my share to C so we are even (the amounts coincidentally match up closely).
Now A feature should exist that allows Person A to mark the debt of B as paied.- Between friends a lot of transactions happen cash. While you could just open another debt and call it 'payment for debt' this wouldn't be semantically correct and clutters up the tracking unnecessarily.
- Other times I'd just like call it quits if the differences are a sub one dollar difference between friends. Agaín we can just add a 'filler expense' again this is unnecessary.

Esepically in groups of friends debts are settled over many different ways.
There's Person A lending B then C pays another bill from another gathering and B pays A and Cs share.
There is smaller amounts that get settled with cash and minor debts (like sub 5$ for one person or sup 1$ for another) that many don't really care about especially when it's between friends.
For all of this cases it would be convenient if the lender could just manually mark a debt as settled (for either a specific part or the total debt).
Of course one could just open another debt and call it 'settlement off', that's unnecessarily cluttering the dashboard and semantically incorrect though
