Hi jenn22, 

 

Thanks for joining us here on the Community 👋

 

If the cheque was processed and money refunded through your bank, can follow the steps below to record the refund from your supplier:

 

1. Create a supplier credit (+ icon -> supplier credit​)
2. Choose the correct date and supplier, put in the amount, choose VAT
3. Then click on the + icon again, and choose Bank Deposit, to show that the money went into your bank account
4. Choose the correct bank account on the top left corner, choose the date when the money actually hit your account
5. For Received from choose the correct supplier, for the account choose Creditors, put the amount in, choose no VAT
6. On the Supplier's page create cheque
7. Tick the deposit against the supplier credit (this shows QuickBooks, that the supplier credit has been used, and money was received from the supplier), untick the bill and save and close

 

Please get back to us below if you have any Q's!

I am using QB online and don't have an option for a supplier credit. I have a vendor credit option but it doesn't allow me to select VAT.

Hi jenn22, 

 

Are you using the UK version of QuickBooks Online? 

 

Did the original bill to the vendor have VAT applied?

 

Thanks
