Quickbooks Desktop - Supplier refund

I am using QuickBooks Desktop 2020.

I have been trying to sort out a supplier refund for the following issue i have, but i just can't see what steps i'm missing.

For the Electricity bill, i am charged a regular monthly amount.

The amount previously in credit was £203.96. I then paid £59 for the next 3 months, making the total credit on the account £380.96. For the 4 payment i have entered them as cheques, and used accounts payable as the account, and the customer:job as the supllier name.

I then received a bill showing the actual usage as £264.98 which i entered as a bill to the supplier, meaning the current balance is now £115.98 in credit which shows correctly in the quickbooks supplier balance. The electric company has now sent a refund for £115.98 to my bank account.

How can i record it correctly, as currently i don't have the £115.98 showing in the bank account, rather the supplier balance shows -£115.98, and also it shows £264.98 as amount due when i go to pay bills.

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.

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

You can also read this article to learn more about supplier refund in QuickBooks Desktop.

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.

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.
