restocking fee to customer

Hi, 

The customer wants to cancel the order and I have explained there is a restocking fee of 20% he has agreed to pay for the restocking fee.

I'm just a bit confused about the final total charge to the customer. I have created an "other charge" item called "Restocking fee" and set it up in the chart of account as income. 

The Subtotal of the items is: $610.75

The Restocking fee is: 20% ($122.15)

Is the customer paying only the $122.15  or  $488.60 ?

If the customer didn't pay the invoice, then the charge is $122.15 (20% restocking charge on the $610.75 worth of items being restocked).  If the customer paid the invoice, then your refund to them would be $488.60 ($610.75 total paid minus the $122.15 restocking fee).

restocking fee to customer

The customer will only pay the restocking fee, Eve2019. I'll provide more information on this.

 

To better assist you, could you please let me know if you have already created a sales order in your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) account? If yes, you can convert the Restocking fee item to an invoice for the customer to pay.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Desktop company file.
  2. Go to the Customers menu and click on Sales Order.
  3. Select the specific customer in the CUSTOMER JOB.
  4. Then select the specific item in the ITEM column.
  5. Click on Create Invoice at the upper right button and select Create invoice for selected items.
  6. Check mark the Restocking fee as the item in the ITEM column.
  7. Then you will be routed to the Invoice page and click on Save & Close.

 

Meanwhile, if you did not create a sales order, you can manually issue an invoice to your customer, please follow these steps:

 

  1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Desktop company file.
  2. Go to the Customers menu and click on Create Invoices.
  3. Select the specific customer in the CUSTOMER JOB.
  4. Then select the Restocking fee as the item in the ITEM column.
  5. Once done click on Save & Close.

 

Moreover, when a customer pays you the invoice, you need to record the payment in QuickBooks.
