We received a vendor refund in the amount of $397, however, before the vendor sent the refund over they took out $140.34 for a bill we had for them. So only $256.66 was deposited to us. How do I put this in correctly to show the refund and the payment of the bill?
Good morning, @LRhoades.
I can see how important it is for you to be able to track the refund and payment. I'll share a different approach for your scenario that shows the deposit and bill accordingly.
You'll need to create a bank deposit to cover the expense of $140.34 and receive an amount of $256.66. Therefore, the total should be $397.
First, go to the +New and select Bank deposit under Other. Enter a negative amount (-$140.34) so it deducts from the total amount ($397), resulting to ($256.66).
Second, navigate to the +New again to make a bill ($140.34) so we can apply the payment. Here's some snippets for your guide:

Since the $256.66 refund is already downloaded in the bank feeds, we can go ahead and create a bank deposit by following the steps provided by my colleague, JamaicaA. Then, match it with the imported entry. This links them together so you won't have duplicates. Here's how to do it:
Take a look at my screenshot below:
Another option is to directly include the downloaded reimbursement in your records by clicking the Add button. This method provides a more straightforward approach that doesn't require entering and matching a bank deposit, while still accurately representing the flow of funds.
Afterward, let's create or apply the payment to close the open bills. Additionally, I'm adding this article to learn how to track all the money you've paid to a supplier for a particular period: Run a report with vendor totals.
