I went in to apply a customer's credit to a refund check. I was going through the process and realized that I wasn't sure the correct check form set up was listed, so I x out of the screen. However, it came up that the check was printed and the credit is no longer on the account. I thought, that is fine, I will just handwrite the check. However, there isn't a check that shows up in my check register. In the G/L I show a debit to my checking account and a credit to the accounts receivable account. What is the best way to undo this so that I can write out a check and have it appear on my check register? Otherwise I imagine I'm going to run into an issue balancing my checking account.
Would the best thing to do be to make a reverse journal entry and then post a credit to his account against the invoice and then do a refund?
Thanks so much!
