# How do I record the payments I receive from my vendors?

If you’ve made an excess/advance payment to a vendor and the vendor refunds a part or the entire excess/advance payment, you can record the refund under Payments Made. To record an excess/advance payment:

*   Go to **Purchases** on the left sidebar.
*   Select **Payments Made**.
*   Select an excess/advance payment.
*   Click the **More** button in the top top right corner.
*   Click **Refund**.
*   Enter the **Amount**, select the **Refunded On** date, and select the **To Account**.
*   Click **Save**.

The refund will now be recorded under Payments Made.

If you return goods or services to a vendor, or if you cancel an order, the vendor will provide a refund for your purchase. In Zoho Books, you can record the refund as vendor credits, which you can use for future transactions with the vendor. However, if you’ve requested a refund and the vendor has issued it, you can record it in Zoho Books under vendor credits. Here’s how:

*   Go to **Purchases** on the left sidebar.
*   Select **Vendor Credits**.
*   Select a vendor credit.
*   Click the **More** button in the top right corner.
*   Click **Refund**.
*   Select the **Refunded On** date, enter the **Amount**, and select the **To Account**.
*   Click **Save**.

The refund will now be recorded under Vendor Credits.
