refund from vendor

[yoknox]

I know a refund is deposited in bank and the expense account credited; however, how is this reflected in the vendor account or should it be. Thank you.

Was the refund from a check that you issued to the vendor? Was it a partial or total refund?

Sorry, I just saw your reply. Check was issued to vendor and refund was partial.

Here is a link to a recent post that actually answers your question. What I did was to create a manual check - you can use the same number as the original if you want - to the vendor and entered a negative number for the amount of the refund. That amount will be entered into the debit column. Then enter the original account used and put that amount in the credit column. Then post. It worked fine here. Increased the bank account, reduced the expense account and reduced the amount paid to the vendor. I would do a backup prior to doing this just in case you don't get the result you want. Make sure you clearly state the reason for this transaction in the notes field for future reference.
