Matching Deposit to Supplier Credit

Hi there,

 

We made two purchases from a supplier, bills were created and payments was linked. Couple of days later we received a credit note for one of the purchases and funds was refunded.

 

Question:

Will I be able to link a deposit to the supplier credit to balance out the expenses or does this process only work on deposit with no supplier credit created?

 

Apologies for what might seem to be a simple question.

 

Thanks

Chris

Hi @Chris405 

 

Enter the refund as a Bank Deposit to Accounts Payable using the Supplier Name & NoVAT code.

The refund will then show on the Supplier Register & you can clear against the Supplier Credit using Pay Bills.

(the refund will effectively show as a debt which can be offset using the credit)

 

Hope this helps.

Hi Paul72

 

Thank you so much for the message.

Confused myself a bit looking for accounts payable, but got it right with creditors.

 

Thanks again.

Glad you got it sorted out @Chris405 

 

That's right, I always forget that QBO has different names by default:

Accounts Payable = Creditors
Accounts Receivable = Debtors

Hello Chris405, thanks for posting on the Community page,  You would need to create a bank deposit to reflect the refund, with accounts payable selected on the add funds line, then link this to the credit with a cheque.

Hi Ashleigh1

 

Thanks for the message.

 

I believe it's maybe the difference between regions for choosing which one, but got it right with creditors.

 

Thanx again.
