Original Payment Method

Displays the payment method that was used to pay for the deposit.

Payment Amount

This is the amount of the deposit that was paid in the original payment method. This amount may include a pick up amount as well as the deposit amount that was also saved to the same receipt. So the amount shown here may be greater than the amount that was collected for the deposit.

Refund Payment Method

Select the method of the refund.

Cash: The cashier removes cash from the cash drawer to be handed to the customer. A negative payment gets tracked in the Cash Drawer Receipt table and passed to PeopleSoft Receivables.

Note: If the refund amount exceeds the maximum defined for the cash drawer, then cash cannot be used as a payment method for the refund. The refund will have to be issued by credit card or check.

Credit Card: The cashier issues a credit to a credit card. A negative payment gets tracked in the Cash Drawer Receipt table and passed to PeopleSoft Receivables.

Check: Select Check if the refund is to be credited back to a customer's account or to have a company check issued to the customer. The credit invoice will be sent to PeopleSoft Receivables. From there, a refund check can be manually initiated and a company check will be issued to the customer from PeopleSoft Accounts Payable. A negative payment gets tracked in the Cash Drawer Receipt table and is not passed to Receivables as a payment because an actual check was not issued to the customer at this time.

Note: Specifying a check refund will just issue a credit memo to PeopleSoft Receivables (through Billing), but it will not automatically initiate the refunding process in Receivables. This is a separate manual step in Receivables.

Refund Due

Enter the amount to be refunded to the customer for each payment method.

Comments

Enter comments about the refund. These comments will be printed on the refund receipt.

If a user is allowed to refund only 100 USD cash out of a drawer, and if the current refund transaction requires a cash refund that is greater than 100 USD, then a user with access to override this maximum can check this box and bypass the edit on maximum refund. This field can be controlled by feature security.

Note: Give update or display access to this field only to those who you would like to be able to override the maximum refund amount for a transaction.
