Hi,
I have a client who requires a refund. I’ve issued “new payment” and it shows the amount over in the Amount Paid side of the Receipts and Payments screen,
Having trouble with “paying out the credit” / refund. At the bottom of the article.
Paying out a refund
If a customer requests a refund of the credit balance, record a payment from a bank or cash account and allocate the refund to Accounts receivable and the customer’s subaccount. When a refund payment is recorded, the balance of Accounts receivable for the customer will move in the positive direction:
It’s not possible to see exactly what you did, because you are showing transaction lists instead of edit screens. And you’ve obscured a lot of information. But a few things emerge:
It looks like you originally paid the refund twice. This could be why the sales invoice is overpaid.
It sounds like you are trying to pay a second time after creating the credit note. You don’t have to because you already paid (at least once).
The purpose of the credit note was to catch up with the payment you already made.
