I'd appreciate you for sharing the steps you've performed, hkg48035.

 

Combining a customer refund and settlement amount is currently unavailable in QuickBooks Desktop. As a workaround, you can create a journal entry for the settlement. Then, enter a check for the refund.

 

Here's how to create a journal entry:

 

  1. Go to the Company menu and select Make General Journal Entries.
  2. Fill out the fields to create your journal entry. 
  3. Make sure your debits equal your credits.
  4. Once done, click Save & Close.

 

For more details, please see this article: Create Journal Entry.

 

Once done, you can now record the refund.

 

Additionally, I've added an article that'll help you personalize your reports in QuickBooks Desktop. This helps you view the details needed: Customize Report.

I actually couldn't find a way to make it one check. I ended up creating the primary check number to be posted against the credit issued for the customer job portion. Then I created a second check with an identical number but on Alphabet letter a at the end and wrote that out to the customer against our settlement ledger. They're both there when I tried to put them all under the credit check it basically looked like the guy had extra money to spend it was very strange. If you have a better idea I'd love to hear it. We don't invoice our customers.
