I recieved a cheque from a customer for services which was paid into the bank with a number of other cheques. I matched these payments against each corresponding invoice. One cheque was subsequently returned. How do I record this return, to be reflected in this customers statement?

Hey Kev L,

Keep the existing invoice and payment and then record the refund to your customer by following the steps below:

1. Go to the + icon in the top right corner of the screen and create a expense

2. select the customer, the date the money left your account and expense from the debtors account- save and close

3. go back to the + icon, select credit note, fill in the customer name and amount- save and close

4. go to sales on the left side of your screen, click customers at the top of your screen and find the appropriate customer

5. click new transaction on the top right of your screen and select payment

6. on the next screen tick the expense and credit note (make sure no other transactions are ticked- save and close)

Thanks
