I am trying to figure out how to account for a wire we sent as a deposit for goods we ordered from a purchase order. There isnt a bill generated due to we have not received the items yet. So, how we do it is, write a check to account for the wire (EFT) and under expenses I map it to accounts payable with the vendor name entered under customer job. This way when the bill gets generated we show a credit for them and can apply it. The problem is the bank revered the wire we sent and took out fees. I know how to account for the deposit, I enter the original amount of the wire then deduct the bank fee right in the deposit window. But now the items is showing up in the pay bills window. This order was cancelled so I need to remove that bill from showing in my pay bills list. How do i do that without distrubing the cleared transaction from the deposit we got back when the bank revered the wire?
Hi there, @Linkasink. I'm here to lend a hand.
You can create a bank deposit to record the wire transfer returned less fees.
Here's how:

I had said in the OP that i already knew how to do the deposit part, what I cant figure out is how do i get the "bill" that was generated from the deposit out of the bill pay list. The order was cancelled so therefore no bill is to be paid. If i delete the bill the deposit (which is cleared) will be affected. I need to get rid of the bill without affecting the deposit
Thanks for getting back to us, Linkasink.
I'll be glad to help you get rid of the bill.
In situations like this, you can link the check and the deposit to the original check that you will write through pay bills.

There will be no additional payments sent. We cancelled the order. So basically we got stuck with bank fees but did not get any product. There shouldnt be a bill now. We got the money back, but not all of it.
Thanks for posting here, @Linkasink,
If you don't want to delete the bill under a certain vendor name, you can make some adjustments to relieve the Accounts Payable balance. You can use a journal entry for this, but we always recommend seeking approval from an accountant in cases like this.
For the steps, use the outlined answer below:
I want to share an article that explains this method. Please note that the steps on this reference is for QuickBooks Online, but the same concept would apply to desktop programs Resolve A/R or A/P balances on a cash basis Balance Sheet.
