Cash Purchase Returns Refunds

I can help you handle a cash purchase refund in QuickBooks Online (QBO), @HAM9.

To record the supplier refund or cash purchase refund in QuickBooks, here's how:

1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online account.
2. Make sure you have already created the initial expense or cheque in QuickBooks and assigned a Category/Account to it.
3. Select + New, then Bank deposit.
4. Go to the Add funds to this deposit section:
   • Enter the amount refunded by the supplier and choose the Category/Account that you selected on the initial expense or cheque.
   • If this refund was for an expense that you linked to a customer or project, tick the Track returns for customer checkbox, then select the customer or project. That way, your costs will not be overstated.
5. If you deposited customer payments for invoices into the bank account along with the supplier refund, add them in the Select the payments included in this deposit section.
6. Once done, hit Save and close.

Also, if you need further assistance with recording the supplier refund, I suggest consulting your accountant to ensure the accuracy of your data. If you don't have one, you can utilize our Find an Accountant tool.
