Applying credit to customer with different Category

I have a credit (customer paid invoice twice) I want to apply against an existing Invoice for the same customer.  The new invoice has a different Category and I understand that this means the outstanding invoice isn't available to apply the credit to from the Returns & Credits window. 

How do I apply the credit note funds against the existing outstanding invoice and then pay the balance credit to the customer as a refund.

 

thank you

    Hi 

     

    The second payment should be recorded/allocated against the outstanding invoice ( receive payments) that you wish to put it against in the amount put the amount paid and MYOB will recognise it as an overpayment and create a credit note which you can then settle through the sales command centre as normal

     

    Hope that helps

      Hi Lisa,

       

      In this case, the double payment was received a couple of months ago, long before the second (different category) invoice was issued.  We knew the second invoice was coming and with the clients authority have kept to funds to settle the second invoice and refund the balance.  It's sitting as a credit and has been for a couple of months.  

       

      I think I'm looking for a way to "pay" it somewhere and then "receive" it again.  

       

      Regards

      Lisa

        Ok the payment that you received a couple of months ago - how did you deal with it?

        My understanding Is ithat is sitting as a credit for that customer, is that correct.

         

        the only way that the credit would not be able to be applied to the customer is if the customer name is different as it is just a credit.

         

        What have you tried?

         

        I suggest you do the following steps

        in sales drop down select settle returns and credits

        select the customer

        select (bottom left side) apply to sale

        change the amount to match invoice amount and record

         

        then again from the bottom left corner select pay reund

        select the account you want to pay from and record

         

        process payment

         

        should be done

         

        Hope that helps solve it
