How to use
Instruction video: Refund Accounts
1. Set up refund account on product/product category
Product category can be accessed from many different places in the system such as Inventory, Purchase, etc. On the product category view, enter the accounts that record the revert entries for the income and expend account.
Press Save to save the information.
Instead of using accounting accounts on product categories, some products will have their own way of recording entries. Viindoo Accounting app allows you to set up income, expense, or refund accounts on each product by navigating to Inventory > Products > Products.
2. Create refund invoices
Start with creating a sales order and then create customer invoice. On the invoice, the system will generate the following journal items:
But since the customer wants to refund the goods, you need to create a credit note The credit note will auto-select the income refund account that you have set on the product or product category.
Repeat similar steps for the vendor bills with the expense refund account.
