I had a credit bal with a vendor: refunds. I posted cr memos. They paid it back via ACH to our bank account. How do I record these credits to the bank?

Cr memos zero out a/r acct, but still has a cr balance. If I post a dep to the bank, can I offset the vendor account?

We can delete the credit memo and deposit the refund instead, hsow.gail.

 

Credit memos are used in recording the customer’s payments more than what they owe. Instead of recording a credit memo, you can enter a vendor credit to offset their balance.

 

Let me show you how to enter a refund from a vendor. First, create a Vendor Credit to post it on the expense account you used for this vendor. Then, deposit the money you got from the refund using a Bank Deposit. Lastly, use the Pay Bills option to connect the bank deposit to the Vendor Credit. 

 

You can got to your vendor's profile to check the balance. Keep me posted if you need more help. Thanks!

What would you do differently if the refund was to the credit card instead of checking account?

Thanks for joining the thread, @Fclk7936.

 

You can create an expense so that you can select a credit card for the refund instead of checking account.

 

Let me show you how:

  1. Go to + New and then select Expense.
  2. Enter the information needed (Payee, Payment account, Category/Item details).
  3. Click Save and close.

 

I'll add this article as your reference when you record, update and remove an expense: Enter, edit, or delete expenses in QuickBooks Online.

 

Just in case you wanted to run a specific report for vendor expenses in the future, you can customize the Transaction Detail by Account report and follow these steps:

  1. On the left panel, click Reports.
  2. Type Transaction Detail by Account in the search box.
  3. Choose the Report period, and click the Customize button located in the upper-right hand corner.
  4. Click Rows/Columns to expand, and click the Change columns link.
  5. Check the boxes for Date, Vendor, Transaction Type, Account, and Product/Service.
  6. Click Filter to expand, and choose Expense from the Transaction Type drop down menu.
  7. Select the accounts you want to view (travel, insurance, etc.) from the Distribution Account drop down list.
  8. Choose the vendor you want to show in the report from the Vendor drop down list.
  9. Click Run Report.

 

Please let me know if you have more questions. I'll be around to help. Stay safe!

I followed your directions and the steps did not work.  The deposit did not show up in the pay bills option.
