Hey there, Krogen610.
I'm here to help and ensure your books are accurate. You can record this refund and enter this year's date so it won't affect the closed books.
Below are the steps to complete the process:
- Click Customers at the top menu bar and select Create Credit Memos/Refunds.
- From the Customer: Job drop-down, select your customer.
- Enter the items you're giving a refund for, then select Save & Close.
