[GNC] best accounting practice for refund

[Eric Rathhaus office]

Hi - I have a client for whom I have many jobs.  On some of these jobs, the client prepaid expenses that I did not use.  In the past, I’ve always created a credit note for a refund and sent the client a check.  However, my client prefers instead that I credit this amount towards future work.  I’m not sure how to accomplish this cleanly.  I could keep a running total of the amount and discount from the total prepayment until it’s used up.  But this seems clunky and maybe not the best practice.  Any other suggestions on how to account for the refund against future work?

Kind regards,

Eric W. Rathhaus
