Thank you for the detailed post, sevans.
The information will help us determine how to handle the entry correctly. Let's enter the $200 as a refund in your company file and enter the correct period to keep your records accurate. This is to ensure it matches your real-life transaction.
In QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), you can refund cash payments, checks, or back to the credit card your customer used. Also, QuickBooks Payments handles the processing of refunds made to credit cards. When you're ready, follow these steps to track the entry:
- Sign in to QuickBooks Payments from QuickBooks Desktop.
- In QuickBooks Desktop, head to the Customers menu and select Create Credit Memos/Refunds.
- From the Customer:Job drop-down, choose the customer you're working on from the list.
- Input the products and services you need to refund.
- Press Save & Close to open the Available Credit window.
- From there, tick the radio button for Give a refund and then OK. if you wish to give credit for future payments, select Retain as an available credit and then OK.
- In the Issue a Refund window, press the Issue this refund drop-down and choose the payment method used for the entry.
- Press the OK button once done.
