    Hi PickleS 

     

    To clear a credit in AccountRight, you either need to apply it to an invoice or pay it out as a refund. Assuming that the credit will not be applied to another invoice for this customer you could look at creating a 1 cent invoice to apply the credit to. Do note that this will impact on whichever accounts selected in the transaction.

     

    Alternatively if you pay the credit out as a refund this will impact your bank account. You can record a reversing journal entry to offset that amount, however I recommend speaking with your accountant over how that journal entry should look
