How do I apply a cheque made out to a customer to the negative balance on their account? For some reason the cheque does not show up in the outstanding transactions.

Thank you for the reply.  It seems I've found the answer.  I was posting the refund cheque to the income account rather than using Accounts Receivable.

Thanks for following up with the Community, matthoop.
 

I'm happy to hear you were able to figure out which account to post your refund check to so that it can be applied to the customer's negative balance.
