Vendor Prepayment & Partial Refund on CC

The way I read this situation, is that the first charge you show should be 7K - true?

If so then you enter things the same way it happens in real life.

1. show the charge to the CC for the full amount, 7K
2. create a credit memo for the vendor in the amount of 2K as a refund to the CC
3. enter the bill (vendor invoice) for 7K
4. enter the $10 credit for the vendor and apply to the bill
5. apply the prepayment of 5K to the bill
6. pay the balance of 1,990

Hey @Rustler it's great to see you on here again. I hope you are well and safe. 

Whoops, made an error in the explanation/steps! You are correct it should have been 7K for the first. 

We had entered a a refund through the CC charges window for the 2K. We don't see any payment for the 5K in the system.  Do we need a credit memo and a refund in the CC charge?

Without seeing the entries it is hard to say.  I like to use enter bills and pay bills, that keeps everything associated in one place.

Thanks @Rustler for the follow-up reply. Yeah we like doing enter bills too. This one the supplier charged us a prepay before we got the bill but then sent the invoice/bill dated the same day as the prepayment. We entered the CC prepayment against AP in the CC making a negative balance on the vendor account then entered the bill then entered a CC refund/credit in the CC window to the A/P account. Not sure what to do to get this entered correctly.
