To enter a cash receipt that reduces the cost of a job but does not affect a customer balance, you will need to enter a Miscellaneous JC receipt. See How do I enter a Miscellaneous JC cash receipt in Accounts Receivable? for steps.

Notes:

• If this is a refund from a vendor and the vendor will receive a 1099, you cannot use this method. You must follow the link for How do I enter a refund from a vendor in Accounts Payable?
• These entries will also not reduce commitment amounts for invoiced or dollars paid.
• The Miscellaneous JC cash receipt type will update the Payments field on the Job setup Receivables record.
• Miscellaneous JC cash receipt types do not get WIP ID's so even though they reduce costs in Job Cost, the transaction will not flow to BL as there will not be a WIP id. If the item is needed in Billing, please follow How do I enter a refund from a vendor in Accounts Payable?

Tip: If you have not installed Accounts Receivables and use Job Cost for your receivables, see How can I enter a miscellaneous cash receipt through Job Cost?
