How can I record a refund for advance payments I’ve received?

• Click on the Unused Credits and you will be able to see a window with the split up of Credit Notes and Excess Invoice Payment.

• Enter the amount and other relevant details and click on Save.

Now you can go to the Payments Received module to have view the receipt of the refund you have made.
