How do I record a vendor refund that is credited back to a credit card account?

To record this in Paradigm, create a Purchase Invoice and set the Voucher Type to Debit Memo.  List the credit items or expenses on the Debit Memo.  When you Post the Debit Memo, it should have a negative total, indicating a credit to the Vendor’s A/P account.  To close or pay out the Debit Memo, click the Payable button on the Debit Memo, select the Credit Card account from the Bank Account dropdown, enter the payment total as a negative amount, and then select the Debit Memo from the list of open invoices.  When you post the payable, it will close the Debit Memo and record a “return” on the selected credit card account.
