Quickbooks Desktop - Supplier refund

I can guide you on how to record the amount in QuickBooks Desktop, @jack1289.

You can record the refund (£115.98) as a deposit. I'll show you how.

1. Select Make Deposits from the Banking tab.
2. Fill in the necessary field on the Make Deposits window.
3. Click on Save and close.

Hi @Angelyn_T ,

Is it possible to give a bit more detail regarding the exact steps, as i made a deposit, for the £115.98 and put the account as accounts payable, as per the article, and now the supplier balance shows as £0, however when i go to pay bills, it still shows the bills as not being paid, and when i go to pay bills and select credit it doesn't let me select all the credits.

I appreciate you for getting back to this thread, @jack1289.

I'm here to give you additional details on how to apply the credit amount (deposit) on the existing bill. 

When paying the open bill, you can click on the Set Credits button to apply the deposit recorded. I'll show you how.

1. Click on Pay Bills from the Vendors menu.
2. Select the bill you want to pay.
3. Tap on the Set Credits button, then select the available credits from the Apply Credits window.
4. Hit Done.
5. The credit amount is now showing up under the Credits Used column. Select Pay Selected Bills to record the payment.
6. The amount paid is zero under the Payment Summary page. Click Done.

After these steps, you can review your transactions under the supplier's name. The bill is now marked as paid.

As you continue working with QuickBooks, you can read the topics from our help articles as your future references.  Here's the link: Find articles, video tutorials, and more.

That should point you out in the right direction today. Keep me posted if you have any other questions. I'm more than happy to help. Have a good day!

Hi @Angelyn_T ,

I tried your steps but something still looks wrong.

Picture 1 attached shows the balance before the bill of £380.96.

Picture 2 shows the detail to make that balance.

Picture 3 shows the bill entered for £264.98, resulting in the credit of £115.98 which shows in picture 4.

Picture 5 shows the deposit made for £115.98 back to the bank account, and picture 6 shows the supplier balance now at £0.

Picture 7 shows the pay bills menu.

The issue is that there are 2 entries, and how do i make it so that i can apply all the credits against the bill, as i tried it before and it wouldn't let me apply all the credits against the bill.

Thanks for providing screenshots, @jack1289.

hi @Angelyn_T ,

My question hasn't really been answered. I can apply credits, but as per the screenshots i can't apply all of them against the actual bill, and also is the £115.98 which is the actual refunded amount meant to show up in the pay bills area?
