Hello Sam, 

Welcome to the Community page,

You would need to record this as a supplier refund the steps are below on how to do this. 

Refund from your suppliers
1. Create a supplier credit (+ icon -> supplier credit)
2. Choose the correct date and supplier and expense account, put in the amount, choose VAT, save
3. Then click on the + icon again, and choose Bank Deposit, to show that the money went into your bank account
4. Choose the correct bank account on the top left corner, choose the date when the money actually hit your account
5. For Received from choose the correct supplier, for the account choose Creditors, put the amount in, choose No VAT
6. On the Supplier's page create cheque
7. Add both the deposit and the supplier credit from the right side to link them (this shows QuickBooks, that the supplier credit has been used, and money was received from the supplier), save and close
8. Match the deposit against the transaction on your banking screen
