In that case, certainly, you need to use credit notes. I don’t see any reason why this ‘wouldn’t work from an accounting standpoint’ but if you find a problem, instead of cutting a check to the customer as payment for the credit note, combine this with option #2 I listed, and this time, use

Hi Geert - I already issued the invoices and processed my clients payments against the invoices. These payments are for filing fees to the US government for which I subsequently cut checks. I created a job for this client that I use to invoice these fees alone. The size of the filing fees is

You’re welcome. That would work for existing excess pre-payments that were already applied to an existing invoice. But for future such cases, probably option #3 would be the simplest unless you really need to issue credit notes for some reason. I guess otherwise, it is a personal preference.

Thanks, Derek. But the refund comes from several jobs for which I sent one invoice in advance to cover costs. Subsequently those costs were not incurred for some but not all the jobs. And how does the credit note get accounted for when using the sum to pay for future invoices? > On Jun 26,

Yes, that’s more along the lines of what I thought a credit memo would fit for. That said, there are cases in which a client pays full rate for one session, then decides to convert to a package of sessions. I record the “ex post facto” discount to apply to that first session as a credit memo

Thanks Tim, I forgot about that method, so: #3 - enter a payment from a customer without choosing an invoice to post it against. GnuCash will retain that amount as a pre-payment you can apply later as needed. (same procedure as outlined in #1) Individual customer balances are available from

You have at least 2 options I can think of at the moment: #1 - continue to issue credit notes in your system, but don’t send them out or pay them with a check. When you have the next positive invoice, ‘pay’ a portion (or all) of that invoice with the credit note. Simply process a payment,
