Reversing a Refund on a Purchase Payment on Account

Updated 31 October 2026

If you recorded a refund on a Purchase Payment on Account by mistake, or the supplier’s refund didn’t arrive, reverse it by unposting the Purchase Refund.

Reverse the refund

  1. Open Aedon.Purchases, click the Purchase POAs tab and open the payment on account.
  2. Click the Refunds & Audit History tab and open the Purchase Refund.
  3. If the refund has been reconciled, unreconcile it first from the bank account’s Bank Feeds tab. See Unreconcile Matched to Payment.
  4. Click Unpost(1), then, if you don’t need it any more, click Delete.

Unposting makes the opposite entries to the original refund, and the amount goes back onto the payment on account’s Balance Outstanding.
