Hello Margaret875,
There are a few things we can do to record the refunds from suppliers. We can create a supplier credit, bank deposit, and link the two transactions.
Creating a supplier credit is a way of recording the refund.
- Click the + New button and select Supplier credit.
- Enter the Supplier and the Payment date (refund date).
- Go to the Category details section and enter the expense account in the CATEGORY column.
- Enter the refund amount in the AMOUNT column.
- Click Save and Close.
Bank deposit will represent that the refund already affects your bank.
- Click the + New button and select Bank deposit.
- Enter the bank account in the Account field.
- Enter the deposit date and go to the Add funds to this deposit section.
- Select the supplier under the RECEIVED FROM column.
- Select Creditors in the ACCOUNT column.
- Enter the refund amount in the AMOUNT column.
- Click Save and close.
Lastly, we can create an Expense or Cheque to link the two transactions.
- Click the + New button and select Expense or Cheque.
- Select the supplier in the Payee field and enter the Payment account (bank account).
- Enter the Payment date.
- On the right side of the Expense or Cheque window, the Add to Expense or Cheque drawer will appear.
Click Add on the Deposit and the Supplier Credit. - The Deposit will appear under the Outstanding Transactions section, while the Supplier Credit will show under the Credits section.
Ensure the AMOUNT PAID in the upper-right corner is 0.00. - Click Save and close.
