Creditor Refund

Hi all,


I have a situation in how to account for a creditor refund. The scenario is:

Prepayment to Goods Supplier     1000

Goods received                                   900

Supplier invoice                                   900

Supplier refund                                    100

As the prepayment as been paid on a proforma invoice, the supplier short supply one item and took it out in the invoice. Also, supplier refund the balance to us.

As the goods received and invoice are 900, that will offset each other. Leaving 100 debit balance in the supplier account and it has been refunded by EFT.

How do we process this refund?

Thanks,

Keen

    Hi 49153,

    Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.

    Based on your suggestion the entries would be:


    Credit Note

    DR AP
    CR Clearing


    AR receipt

    DR Bank
    CR Clearing

    In that case, it doesn't balance the book.

    Is there something wrong with my understanding?

    Thanks,
