refund customer

We sell a customer an item.  That item is removed from our inventory.  The customer reports the item is damaged and wants a refund.  We do not want the item returned to us.  We create a credit memo to refund the customer for that item.  Quickbooks automatically returns that item back to stock, but we do not want that item added back into our inventory.  How do we process a refund that does not affect our inventory?

I'm here to help record a customer refund without affecting the inventory, @Dekorasyon Gifts.

 

You can create a credit memo without using the original item to refund your customer since you are not getting a Return Materials Authorizations (RMA) condition. To do so, you'll need to use an Other charge type item linked to an income account to track refunds and write-offs.

 

You can follow qbteachmt's suggestion in this related post to process a refund without affecting your inventory: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/reports-and-accounting/how-to-record-damaged-goods....

 

Most importantly, I still recommend seeking help from your accountant. They may provide other ways to record this based on your business practices.
