Customer Refunds

To preface: we use QB POS v. 18.0 at our front counter, and QB Premier-Retail 2019 in our back office accounting.

 

When processing a check refund to our customer through POS, the transaction is transferred to QB Premier and records a negative deposit under A/R. This is reflected in our checking account as paid, even though a check has not been issued. We use QB Premier for all Check refunds, so when I issue that check, it "double dips" into our checking account. What's the proper way to issue a refund so it's reflected correctly through both platforms?

Customer Refunds

Thanks for bringing this matter to my attention, @BSO2171.

 

I’m here to share some information about Customer refunds in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

When you issue a refund through QuickBooks Point of Sale, there shouldn't be a check created in QuickBooks Desktop as it will create a double deposit. What we can do is pull up the Transaction List by Customer report and check the transaction that's been synced from POS.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Reports tab at the top menu bar.
  2. Under Customers and Receivables choose Transaction List by Customer.
  3. Choose a date range.
  4. Click the Customize Report option and filter the Transaction Type into Credit Memo.
  5. Open the transaction then click Use credit to give a refund.
  6.  Enter the necessary details then click Print.
  7. Assign a check number then hit OK
