How do I refund a portion of the security deposit?

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Open the Tenant screen. Verify the amount of the security deposit.

Click the Add Charge button.

Select the Deposit charge code and enter a negative amount, for the amount of the deposit you are going to refund.

Click Save.

Click Add Charge again.

Select the Deposit Refund charge code and enter a positive amount (for the amount of the deposit you are going to refund).

Click Save.

On the Tenant screen, select the Receive Payment button.

Breeze opens the Receipt Information screen, showing the two charges: the negative charge to the Deposit charge code and the positive charge to the Deposit Refund charge code.

Click Save. Breeze creates a Zero Receipt, shown below.

Go to Accounting > Accounts Payable > Payables > Add New.

Complete a payable to the tenant. Use the deposit refund account as the expense account. (In the default COA, the deposit refund account is the 2270 Clearing-Tenant Deposits account.)

The completed payable is shown below.

Process the payable to create a check to the tenant.
