How to record a refund for something you've purchased in Sage Accounting Start.
Description
How this works
Restrict categories for specific transaction types to minimize errors, such as allowing only expense categories on payments.
We also normally only allow you to choose a supplier when recording money out.
Using the refund option allows you to
- Create money in transaction for a supplier
- Select an expense category for the refund, without having to change the visibility setting on the category first
