Create/Edit Refund

This is the screen used to create and edit customer refunds.

The header fields are as follows:

  • Current Invoice
The amount of the current invoice, if any.
  • Overdue
The customer's current overdue balance.
  • Date
The date on which the payment was created.
  • Amount
The amount of the refund- this is the sum of the line item amounts.
  • Printed
This checkbox will be checked when the refund is printed.
  • Status
This is initially set to Finalised, and can also be set to In Progress or On Hold.
  • Previous Balance 
The customers balance at the end of the last accounting cycle.
  • Total Balance

  • Notes
Any relevant notes.
  • Reference
Any appropriate reference number/code.
  • Till
The till into which the money is to be paid.
  • Location
The practice location where the refund was created.

The Items tab allows you to add, delete, view and edit the items. The pull-down allows you to select the refundtype to be one of EFT, Cash, Cheque, Credit Card, Other, or Discount. Note that the last is a 'negative' refund - you can use this refund type to revert a discount for the customer.

The table shows the line items - normally there will be only one, but multiple are supported for split refunds.

The item detail area changes depend on the refund type, as described below.
