Question

credit after bill is paid

Hi,

 

I received a refund from vendor after the bill was paid. I followed step one to deposit the refund check and followed step two to create the credit. Do I need to do something else afterwards? I see that step three is linking the deposit to the credit but I don't understand how to do that if the bill is paid already. In the instructions it says to go to pay bills, but the bill is paid already.

 

Thank you to anyone that can explain this to me!

I'm not sure if you received my response because I didn't reply directly from this msg, so here it goes again.

 

Thank you for the link. I have those instructions and read them several times already but I don't know how to do number three. linking it would be easy if the bill is not paid because then the bill appears in the pay bills box, but how do i link deposit to credit if the bill is paid already.

 

can you perhaps give me some baby steps?

 

thank you
