A client allocates most costs to various projects.  From time to time he may return a product or cancel a service and receives a refund.  Is it possible to allocate this refund to the project also?

Hi there, Rachael93.

 

Let me share information about the process of how to allocate a supplier refund to a project.

 

If you created a bill to track the expenses, you can make a supplier credit to record the refund and associate it with a project. Let me guide you on how:

 

  1. In the left menu, click the + New button.
  2. Choose Supplier credit or Receive supplier credit.
  3. In the Supplier ▼ dropdown, select your supplier.
  4. Depending on how you record purchases with this supplier, enter the Category details or Item details. Usually, this is the category, product, or service you’re getting credit for.
  5. Enter the project name in the Customer/Project column.
  6. Enter the other necessary details.
  7. Select Save and close.

 

However, if you record the expenses the other way, check out this article for guidance on how to record the supplier refund to a project based on your scenario: Enter supplier credits and refunds in QuickBooks Online.

Should you have any other concerns, let me know and I'll help out again. Have a great day.
