Hi Team,

I guess there's a first time for everything but I accidently overpaid a supplier bill and need some assistance in how to rectify this RAH.

The supplier will use the overpayment as a credit for me to use on the next bill but how do I apply the payment I made to the current bill and what do I do with the extra amount paid so it balances with the bank account.

Thank you

    You can simply overpay the bill and the credit will be created by Reckon.

    Thanks for asking

    Hi @JEN

    Pay Bill (the FULL, overpayment amount) in RAH. The excess will then reflect as an available Credit - under Total Credits Available - in that window, for you to apply to any subsequent bills as applicable 😊

    Hi Shaz,

    So when I go to enter the amount paid, I overwrite the amount that was payable with what was overpaid.

    When I do that, I look at Accounts Payable report and the there's an amount with a minus figure. For example: Payable was $80.00. Paid $83.00. Now in the Accounts Payable report it is showing -$3.00 against the supplier I overpaid.

    This looks wrong to me. I looked at the link @Tanvi_kataria posted but the screenshots are hard to read. Really fuzzy.

    Looking at that message, it seems like I need to create in the cheque account under the suppliers name an amount of $3.00 then when I go to pay the bill, a credit will pop up and prompt me if I wish to use this credit. My guess is that I click no as I will use the $3.00 credit against the next bill that comes in.

    Is that right? I appreciate your help Shaz & Tanvi as I honestly rarely handled the accounts payable and haven't encountered this problem before.

    Thanks.

    That's correct @JEN … because you wouldn't owe them anything, they'd owe YOU $ 3 !

    The credit is already there so when you have entered a new Bill to pay from them, when you tick it in Pay Bills, you will see that $ 3 credit available for you to apply 😊
