1. Click +New, then select Pay Bills.
2. On the Payment Account, choose the account used to pay the bills.
3. Tick the corresponding transaction.
4. Once done, hit Save.
    

Afterward, let's create a bank deposit to account for the refund.

2. Head to the Add funds to this deposit area.
3. On the Received From column, select your vendor.
