How do I reconcile a bill that was refunded in error? I now have a payment received and spent showing in the banking window that should cancel each other out ?

I made a payment against a bill for £262.19 so I matched the payment against the bill in the banking window..

Later that day the money was refunded in error so I know have £262.19 showing as received in the banking window. I then had to phone the supplier and pay over the phone again £262.19 so now the original bill is paid and matched to the banking feed but I am now left with  £262.19 showing as spent (the original payment) and £262.19 as received (the refund error) now these two amounts in effect cancel each other out but how do I reconcile them as they are both stuck in the bank feed until I can match them against a Expense / Refund.

If so how do I do that as I normally deal with credits against bills which are sorted before a payment is made??

Thanks for the details you've given, @info368.

 

I'd be happy to help you with this getting this issue sorted out so you can reconcile your account successfully.

 

To begin with, you'll need to create a bank deposit to record the refund that was mistakenly sent from your vendor. This way, the refund that received will be removed from your banking page. 

 

To do that:

  1. At the top menu, click Create menu (+).
  2. Select on Bank Deposit.
  3. In the Bank Deposit window, go to the Add New Deposit section.
  4. Under the Receive From column, choose the supplier name.
  5. Under the Account column, choose Accounts Payable, as the affected account.
  6. Enter the refund amount.
  7. Click Save and close.

For more details about handling suppliers' refunds in QuickBooks Online, you may check out this article: Handle supplier credits and refunds.

 

Once done, you can now start reconciling your account. I've included here some reference that can help you in this process:

There you have it, info368.

 

You can always get back to me should you have further questions about this or anything concerning QuickBooks. I'll be around to help. Take care!
