Hello there,

 

Since you returned materials and the refund is showing as a pending transaction, you'll want to categorize it to reduce the original expense.

 

Here's how to handle it:

 

  1. Click All Apps from the left navigation.
  2. Under Accounting, choose Bank transactions.
  3. Find the Home Depot refund in your list and click on it to open the details.
  4. Select Home Depot in the Payee field.
  5. Choose the same expense category you used when you originally purchased those materials.
  6. Click Add to complete the categorization.

 

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions along the way!
