Hello there, PaysTooMuch.

It could be that you have overdue invoices that's why it's showing a positive balance. We can open the credit card refund to check and verify where it is associated.

1. Run the A/R report.
2. pen the transaction by clicking it twice.
3. Review the amount and correct it if necessary.
4. Click Save and Close.

Well, I did as you said and the only info I gleaned from that is that it was refunded at the terminal - but I already knew that. There was no other additional info available and there are no overdue invoices for that customer. Thank you for your answer!

Hello @PaysTooMuch,

Thank you for letting me know the results after following the suggestion shared by a colleague above. Since pulling up the report mentioned wasn't able to show up any open invoices of your customer, you'll have to create an offsetting transaction depending on how you enter the credit card refund.

That being said, here's an article you can read to learn more about how you can fix your account receivable balances. This article will also give you a few examples depending on which scenarios apply to you: Resolve AR and AP balances in Cash Basis.
