I'd appreciate you for sharing the steps you've performed, hkg48035.

 

Combining a customer refund and settlement amount is currently unavailable in QuickBooks Desktop. As a workaround, you can create a journal entry for the settlement. Then, enter a check for the refund.

 

Here's how to create a journal entry:

 

  1. Go to the Company menu and select Make General Journal Entries.
  2. Fill out the fields to create your journal entry. 
  3. Make sure your debits equal your credits.
  4. Once done, click Save & Close.

 

For more details, please see this article: Create Journal Entry.

 

Once done, you can now record the refund.

 

Additionally, I've added an article that'll help you personalize your reports in QuickBooks Desktop. This helps you view the details needed: Customize Report.

 

Please keep us posted if you need additional assistance tracking and managing your QuickBooks transactions. We're always here transactions help you out.

I actually couldn't find a way to make it one check. I ended up creating the primary check number to be posted against the credit issued for the customer job portion. Then I created a second check with an identical number but on Alphabet letter a at the end and wrote that out to the customer against our settlement ledger. They're both there when I tried to put them all under the credit check it basically looked like the guy had extra money to spend it was very strange. If you have a better idea I'd love to hear it. We don't invoice our customers.

Actually I couldn't find a way to write just one check. We don't use invoicing. So I issued a credit for the customer for the job portion amount. And then I issued another bogus check to equal the difference of the settlement also to the customer. The settlement I have the right account set up for that. But when I tried to all do it under the refund it looked like he had money against the job it was a mess. If you have a better idea of what I could do I'd love to investigate it.
