How do you record an overpayment that has been done for a suppliers invoice? cannot make to another invoice as there is no outstanding invoices for that supplier.

Hi there, l-mossman.

 

To record an overpayment that has been done for a suppliers invoice, you'll need to enter the supplier refund cheque in the Deposits screen.

 

Here's how:

 

1. Click the Plus icon at the upper left corner.

2. Select Bank Deposit.

3. Go to Add funds to this deposit section.

4. Select or enter the supplier name in the Received from field.

5. Select Accounts Payable in the Account drop-down list.

6. Enter the cheque amount in the amount field.

7. Click the Save and close button.

 

Once done, link the deposit to the supplier credit. Please follow these steps:

 

1. Select the Plus icon.

2. Choose Expense or Cheque. Note: Both Expense and Cheque recognize and record expenses.

3. From the Payee drop-down arrow, select the supplier name.

4. Leave the Ref/Cheque no., Payment date, Amount and Memo fields blank.

5. From the Add to Expense or Add to Cheque section, choose Add for the outstanding supplier credit and deposit.

6. Hit the Save and close button.

 

Please check this article on how to pay bill using the supplier credits: How do I handle supplier credits and refunds.
