Re: [GNC] Is "Transaction -> Add Reversing Transaction" on menu okay for a refund?

2022-12-28 Thread R Losey
I've not used the "Add Reversing Transaction" -- if the entity (in your
case, Paypal) treats it as two transactions, I'd enter a second transaction
identical to the first one, having the 60p in the other column. We have had
cases where the transaction was actually canceled instead of refunded... in
this case, I'd delete the original transaction.

I previously put the wrong date (today) on a transaction that took place in
March, so I reversed that using the  "Transaction -> Add Reversing
Transaction" on menu. I noticed it showed up as "Refund" in the vendor
report - see attached. So I'm wondering if I can just reverse this
transaction for £0.60. Or is the correct way to do this more complicated?

Too complicated.

Just change the date.

Adrien

Better you consult a CPA if you want to use it for your tax dclaration 
or other publications. As an example in DE such informal corrections are 
not allowed. instead you have to add a "Storno" transaction and then the 
correct transaction.
