Processing Refunds

Purpose:  Use this document as a reference for how to process refunds using ctcLink.

Audience:  Accounts Receivable staff.

You must have at least one of these local college managed security roles:

  • ZZ AR Processing

If you need assistance with the above security roles, please contact your local college supervisor or IT Admin to request role access.

ctcLink enables you to process refunds after the bank receives, processes, and posts the deposits to your account. You can use the Refunds Parameters component to add unposted vouchers to the associated payable tables for payment to the Receivables customer or Payables supplier.

Consider this scenario: A company has notified you that they have paid an invoice twice, and they want you to send them a refund. Upon researching their account, you find a credit showing as an on-account item, and you agree to process the refund.

In this topic, you will process the refund.
