Refunding Customer Payment Shortcut
Refunding Customer Payment Shortcut
Refunding Customer Payment Shortcut
If you do not need to print a check to the customer for the refund, then you can use this shortcut instead of the full Refunding Customer process.
Example
: You refund back to the customer's credit card or bank account through a payment processor.
1. Recording Customer Credit to acknowledge a credit balance.
- This Customer Credit credits AR and Debit “Refund Allowance”
Note
: “Refund Allowance” is a contra revenue account.
Note
: Whether you specify the original Revenue account of the Refund Allowance account is based on your accounting practices.
- This Credit is used to establish a balance to refund.
Note
: If you already have a Customer Receipt with the unallocated amount to refund, then do not create a separate Credit.
Note
: Voiding an invoice reverses both AR and Revenue for the invoice, and any associated receipts become unallocated. In this case, do not create a separate credit.
2. Recording Refund Customer Invoice to offset the credit balance
- The Customer Invoice debits AR and Credit Cash
3. Allocating Customer Credit from step 1 to Refund Customer Invoice from step 2.
In this case, there are no changes to Accounts Payable, and you do not reference the “Refunds Payable” liability account.
