Shipping reimbursements to clients, how to record them

Hello, 

I have a doubt. When we send products outside US and if it turns out defective, the client returns the product, pays for the shipping and then when received, we reimburse them this expense. 

How should I register this? Should I record it as a direct sales deduction (lI thought using Reimbursable Expenses or Accounts Receivable but not sure which one is the correct. 

 

Thanks!

A/R is a receivable, it does not affect income or expense directly, only the items used on the A/R document affect the income or expense accounts
