Sorry, I forgot to mention you should zero out the ‘refund’ amount as well. That will leave it as a credit. Just edit the payment (via right-click) and you should be able to change this. If not, just delete it and process it again.

You don’t need ‘jobs’ assigned for this to work. (they aren’t really ‘jobs’ anyway as most people try to use them, they are really just purchase orders)

Regards,
Adrien
