How do apply a check that I got back from a trucking company?

Long story short--

I bought another 175 a few weeks ago and the shipper lost the box with the drive block in it. They sent me a check to cover it. Now how do I account for this?

Thanks--WISE

As you know I use Peachtree and here's how I do it. I assume QB is similar:

The "right" way -

1) Create a Purchase Order for the difference but in positive numbers.
2) Apply a "Payment" of that positive number

If you don't use Purchase Orders just create a positive Payment.

Copied directly from QB help:

Examples of deposits that are not customer payments might include refunds from vendors or money an owner is investing in the company.

From the Banking menu, choose Make Deposits.

If QuickBooks displays payments to deposit, click the ones you'd like to deposit now, and then click OK.

If you don't want to deposit any of the payments, skip this step and click OK to open the Make Deposits window.

In the Make Deposits window, select the account you'd like to deposit into.

Click anywhere below the last payment in the list.

If the list is full, click anywhere in the list and press Ctrl+Ins to add another entry.

In the Received From column, enter the name of the person or vendor from whom you received the money.

If you are entering a refund from a vendor, enter the vendor name. If this refund is for the return of items entered on a bill credit, enter the Accounts Payable account in the From Account column. If the refund is for a discount or overpayment, enter the expense account of the original expense in this column.

In From Account, enter the account where you want to track the money.

Enter a memo, the check number (if you received a check), and the method of payment (check, Visa, etc.).

Enter the amount.

(Optional) If you use classes, enter the class for this deposit.

Indicate whether you are getting cash back.

Save the deposit.

Click Save & Close to save the transaction and close the window.

Click Save & New to save the transaction and enter a new one.

Marty--

No comment on this being a DAT and how I should have used the help feature in QB?

LOL


Thanks man. I guess I could have done that, but it was much easier for you to do it for me.

Seriously though--Thanks
