Mistakenly applied the credit to the customer account and now looking for steps to delete it? Learn how can you delete available Credit in QuickBooks.

It happens to the best of us, so do not fret. QuickBooks provides the feature of applying a Credit Memo when you want to refund a customer against a product or service. The customer account will receive store credit for this. The credits will appear in the account receivable register within the customer centres, and credit memos will increase the available credit in the customer account.
