Credit notes and refunds
Hi there - going round in circles here. I noticed that for one client in accounts receivable there is a large credit showing. This has come about from a number of overpayments, whereby a credit note/adjustment note has been done for each overpayment from this customer, then applied as a refund and then the payment made to the customer. However, even though refund was selected as an option when applying the adjustment note, there is still a credit showing which is reducing the balance payable by this customer. How can this be undone or adjusted? Kind regards. Kim

You donβt have to create a credit note, the credit has occurred by the overpayment, you just have to do a refund. Enter a cheque to customer, post to accounts receivable and select the customer in the far right column. This will wipe out the credit.

Thank you Kris - that is very helpful.
However, the credit/adjustments are already done.
When they were created the officer selected 'Refund' instead of linking to an invoice, then entered payment as a cheque to the customer.
This has all reconciled to bank statements but the credits are still showing in accounts receivable by reducing the balance payable by the customer.

Hi @KimM
Are you on a Cash or Non-Cash (Accrual) basis for BAS ?
If you are on a Cash basis, you can Void or Delete these unallocated extra Credit/Adj Notes. If you're on Accrual, you'll need to enter a GJ (or Tax Invoice) instead, to clear them.

Ok thanks Shaz. We are accrual basis. I'll try the GL first and see how I go otherwise will go to the Tax Invoice. Really appreciate your help. Kim

No problem Kim π
Important points to remember ...
- Ensure you use the SAME Account(s) (or Item(s) if using a Tax Invoice) as/that the original Cr/Adj Note Item(s) are linked to
- GJ or Tax Invoice Date should be in the current BAS period
- After entry, go to Receive Payment to apply the outstanding Cr/Adj Note(s) to the GJ or Tax Invoice transaction(s)

Thanks Shaz!
I have done this and applied the credits this morning and that has worked.
Very much appreciated.
I still have one credit showing on the Aging Detail but no credits available against this customer so I am not sure how to treat this one.
Cheers
Kim

Hi Kim
Is it a Payment that's showing ? If so, that usually means it's not been "applied" - Double-click on it & tick the applicable invoice(s) it's paying.

Thanks Shaz.
It is a credit note which is showing in Aging Detail.
But there are no credits left showing against this client.
Am a little confounded by it.

OK - in that case, it either hasn't been applied to its applicable existing, relevant invoice OR is just another one that you need to enter a GJ or invoice for (as per above) & then apply π

Thanks - yes I think it was the first - not applied to applicable listing.
