In QuickBooks Online (QBO), there are several ways how you can process supplier refunds. I'm here to guide you with the correct steps of how this can be done when a refund is paid to your bank account, Mariaan.
You can record it as a bank deposit to maintain an accurate financial record. To do so, follow the steps below:
You can use these steps if you don't enter bills to track your expenses.
- First, make sure you have already created the initial expense or cheque in QuickBooks and assigned a Category/Account to it.
- Select + New and then Bank deposit.
- Go to the Add funds to this deposit section:
- Enter the amount refunded by the supplier and choose the Category/Account that you selected on the initial expense or cheque.
- If this refund was for an expense that you linked to a customer or project, select the Track returns for customer checkbox, then select the customer or project. That way, your costs will not be overstated.
- If you deposited customer payments for invoices into the bank account along with the supplier refund, add them in the Select the payments included in this deposit section.
- Click Save and close.
However, if you're recording the refund in a different way, check this article for more details:
