The basic steps to issue a refund for an invoice you have taken payment for, is as follows:

  1. Issue a negative invoice (credit note) to the sum of the invoice to be credited.

  2. Reference the invoice of sale to to the credit note.

  3. Mark the invoice for credit as Paid.

  4. Refund the customer using the specified payment method.

Tudodesk makes this relatively simple.

Open the invoice to be refunded. This invoice must be marked as Paid.

Click the 'Issue Refund' button in the top macro bar.

Confirm the details for the refund. You can add the reason for the refund in the additional info box.

  2. Shows reversed negative values

  3. Links/references the original invoice for your record.
