Refunding a payment with QuickBooks integration

You would like to refund the payment applied to an invoice because the customer overpaid, or have you modified the invoice downwards on a paid invoice

▪️ How to

  1. Click on the Actions and Refunds button at the top of the invoice window.

  2. The message below will appear, telling you that it is not possible to make a refund with QuickBooks integration, and that you must cancel the initial payment and add a new manual payment for the correct amount.

  3. Click on the button to the right of the payment line in the payment calendar and select Cancel.

  4. Refresh page

  5. Click on the Actions button at the top of the invoice window

  6. Select Pay to enter a new payment

  7. Register a new type of manual payment and enter the net amount, which is equivalent to the amount received minus the amount refunded (example: You received $1200 in payment - $100 amount to be refunded = $1100 net). In the notes, enter the initial amount received and the amount of the refund.

  8. Go to Quickbooks and delete the initial payment you received for this invoice, or make a journal entry to do so. Since QB integration does not allow refunds, we need to make a manual adjustment.
