Electronic Clearing transaction, manual payment and receipt of refund of EC Transaction
I have tried to fix this issue with no success, a whole lot frustration along with it as I am not understanding why the process isnt working.
5/4 we made a multiple payment via electronic payments. (a payment was sent to an incorrect bank account).
A manual payment was then made to the correct supplier bank account.
A refund from the incorrect bank account was then received.
I need to know the step by step process on how to correct this so that the manual payment is applied and the refund is received in the bank.
Hi Learoy,
Thank you for your response.
If you can't reach the customer for the refund to be processed and if they don't have any open invoices, you can just leave and hold the credit as unapplied and apply it to the new invoices in the future. However, in your case, if you want to remove this credit from the Return and Credit tab, you might opt to journal the refunds to an asset account if the refunds are expected to be claimed in the future or to a liability account if you're holding the refunds for specific purposes. You may also try your second option, which is creating a new invoice with the same amount and applying the credit note.
I recommend checking with your accountant about recording this to ensure that you're allocating the transaction to the correct account.
Please let me know how you get along and if you require any further assistance with this. I'm here to help in any way I can.
Cheers,
Princess
