installment refunded

Hello,

I have a client who is making monthly payments towards a large invoice. I have the credit card on file and charge it on the agreed day for the agreed amount. One month it was double charged and we refunded the amount that was charged in excess of the agreed amount a few days later.

 

So we recorded the payment on day 1 and then the refund the amount on day 5. Net payment received is zero. However the payment that was refunded still wants to be applied and is miss-stating the balance due on the account.

 

Please advise how to correct this.

installment refunded

I'm here to help you resolve this, @LostInAccounting.

 

I want to ensure this is taken care of, but before I do, may I know how you record the refund? Any information could help us determine the cause of the issue.

 

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), you can use refund receipts if a customer asks for a refund for an item or service.

 

Here's how:

 

1. Go to the +New button.

2. Under Customers, select Refund receipt.

3. Choose the customer you want to refund from the drop-down arrow.

4. Click the Refund From drop-down arrow, then choose the bank you deposited the payment for the invoice to.

5. Select the Product/Service you're refunding and enter its corresponding amount. You can enter negative amounts for any charges.

6. Hit Save and close.

 

However, if your customer uses a credit card, check out this link for the steps: Void or refund customer payments.
