Can I delete a Credit Memo? Do I record a provisional bank credit due to a fraudulent withdrawal as a Bank Deposit ?

We had two fraudulent bank withdrawals. One is currently seen as a "provisional credit memo" in our bank account. Should I delete the Credit Memo I created? If so, how do I record this in QBO?

Can I delete a Credit Memo? Do I record a provisional bank credit due to a fraudulent withdrawal as a Bank Deposit ?

Yes, we can delete a credit memo to avoid duplication and it should not be recorded as bank deposit, admin350. Let me add information and guide you through the process below.

 

Regarding the provisional bank credit due to a fraudulent withdrawal, it should not be documented as a bank deposit. Instead, you should handle it as a bank adjustment to accurately reflect the temporary credit provided by the bank for the fraudulent transaction.

 

Now, let's proceed with removing the credit memo, follow these steps:

 

  1. Navigate to the left menu, click on Sales, and select All Sales.
  2. Locate the credit memo using the search feature, then click the Edit button in its Action column.
  3. At the bottom, click on More and choose Delete.
  4. Confirm the deletion by clicking Yes.

 

I've provided screenshots for your reference.
