Refunding a Deposit to a Customer while keeping an Admin Fee

If you are needing to refund a deposit amount on an Invoice while applying an Admin fee please see the below steps:

 

1. Set up a petty cash or clearing account.
2. Void the original invoice.
3. Create a transfer of the Deposit amount from Petty Cash to the Bank Account.
4. Match the bank feed amount. This should be in the 'for review' section after deleting the original payment and voiding the invoice.
5. Create a new invoice with just the Admin fees.
6. Receive payment of this invoice in to the Clearing Account.
7. Create a transfer of same amount as refunded to customer from the Bank Account to the Clearing Account.
8. Match the refund transaction from the Bank Feed to the Transfer created in step 7.

I have completed steps 1, 2 and 3.  However, when I get to step 4 - there is no resulting transaction to "match".  I can easily find the voided invoice and the "transfer" from my clearing account to the bank account, but no where do I find the amount to match.  

**Update** I figured it out. It was grouped with a larger deposit and so I was looking for the amount of my deposit not realizing it was part of a larger amount.
