How to allocate a repaid credit balance on a Customer account in Sage
Permalink Closed


Hi Folks

I have a customer (Debtor) account that has a credit balance.  We issued a cheque for payment back to the customer.  How do I now allocate the Bank payment of the cheque to the original invoice/credit note on the customer's account in Sage?

Hi Cheshire

You should raise a customer refund, which will post the payment to the Customer's account,
thereby clearing the credit balance to zero, and it will also appear on your Bank reconciliation for you to
match it when the cheque is cleared through your bank acount.

Hi Bucks
Can you please tell me here how to raise a customer refund? A full idiots guide is required for this muppet here please, if you have time.

Thanks in advance

I'm sure you're not a muppet !

I don't know which version you are using, but within your Customers module, one of the options top left
should be "customer refund" ......

I had two attempts doing different things with the refund button and the restore facility, then twigged I had to do some matching of invoices and a credit note, then the Customer Refund option worked like a dream. Im learning something new everyday! Thank you Bucks for our help.
