To both give the Client the benefit of the $15.00 refund and to record the receipt of the $15.00 in cash, you will want to take the following steps.
1. Go into AP Manager, and locate and open in Voucher Entry the voucher that created the original $245.00 client advance transaction.
2. Once displayed in Voucher Entry, choose TOOLS, Adjust Voucher.
3. Edit the line of distribution to the client-matter and change the amount to $230.00.
4. Add a new line of distribution for $15.00 and have it hit a GL expense account – make a note of the GL account used.
5. Post the Adjustment – this will reduce the Client Advance charge on the Client-Matter to $230.00.
6. Go into AR Manager and choose ACTION, Miscellaneous Cash Transaction. Enter a $15.00 transaction using the date you received the check and use the same GL account you used in step 4 above in the Distribution line.
7. Save and Post the Miscellaneous Cash Transaction and then include it in the appropriate Daily Deposit created through the Deposit Processing program.
