I've followed the guidance on this thread, but I'm still not getting where I want to be. Here's my situation...
I rented a truck. I was charged a $150 deposit (to debit card) when I picked it up. When I returned the truck, the total rental charge was deducted from my deposit, which resulted in $31.63 being refunded to my debit card. I Have 2 transactions in my books -- an expense for $150 and a deposit for $31.63.
I want the refund to show up in the Vendor transaction list (to reduce the total $ spent with this vendor). I've tried to credit a vendor credit, deposit to A/P, pay the bill, etc.; but because I'm recording expenses, not paying bills, this just creates opens/overdues for the vendor and messes up the total $ for the vendor.
I'm sure I'm missing something, but this sure seems unnecessarily complicated. Ideas?
