Refunds should be exported to QuickBooks Online to ensure end-of-month reporting is accurate.
It’s important to export both the expense (+ve entry) and the refund (-ve entry). Expense Management supports exporting refunds to the Credit Card Purchase, Journal Entry and Debit Card Expense modules of QuickBooks Online.
How to export refunds to QuickBooks Online
Add the amount and merchant to the refund.
Enter a "-ve" in the amount field to indicate that it’s a refund.
Submit the refund in an expense report as you would any other expense.
Once the refund is submitted and approved, export it to QuickBooks Online.
Things to remember when exporting refunds
Information cannot be exported if the total amount of the expense report is negative. For example, if the total amount of the report is -$200, QuickBooks Online will block this data from saving. For data to be successfully exported and saved, the total amount must be greater than or equal to zero.
Expense and refund entries can be submitted in the same or different expense reports. Once approved, both will be exported to QuickBooks Online.
