Accidental TFL Charges

Hi @pjarmstrong

I’m assuming that as these were charged in error, the charge will be reversed? In that case, as per a post in your previous topic, you could delete both transactions for a nill result.

However, ‘General Purchases’ is more of a things you buy to resell category (for example, stock). If you did want to keep a record of it through a purchase invoice, I would create it to the correct category (which I’d guess is Travelling or similar), and show it as a refund.

As an example, let’s say I was charged £10.00, but £40.00 was taken off my card.

I have the invoice for £10.00:

I’d tag the £40.00 as a payment to supplier, but “pay down multiple”:

This tags £10 to the invoice, and leaves the balance on their account:

Then view the payment (Either Purchases > All Payments, or find the supplier and select View > All Payments, and select ‘View Details’), you can then refund the balance:

I guess it depends on your preference - you may like to keep a trace of everything and know where everything is coming from and going, but for others, it’s just overcomplicating it.

p.s. I’m not an accountant
