In Sage 50 Accounts, if you've posted a supplier payment (PP) in error, you can delete it.
The VAT scheme you use determines what you need to do to delete a supplier payment (PP) transaction. Answer the questions in the section below to be provided with the correct steps to delete a PP based on what VAT scheme you use.
Which VAT scheme are you using?
To check your VAT scheme:
- Go to Settings, then Company Preferences, then select the VAT tab.
- Check which VAT scheme appears under VAT Scheme box, then click OK.
Select the VAT scheme you're using:

Reverse the supplier payment
Reverse the supplier payment with a supplier refund
- Click Suppliers then click Refund and complete the Supplier Refund window as follows:
| Bank A/C Ref | Choose the required bank. |
| Payee | Choose the required supplier. |
| Tax Code | VAT Cash Accounting only - Enter the same tax code as the original supplier payment. |
| Date | Enter the date of the refund. |
| Exchange Rate | Foreign trader only - Enter the same Exchange Rate as the original supplier payment. |
| Amount | Enter the amount you are refunding. |
- Click Save then click Close.
Points to consider
- Bank reconciliation - Once you post the supplier refund, if required, you may also need to bank reconcile it. The net effect of the refund and original transaction in the bank reconciliation is 0.
- VAT reconciliation - As the supplier payment has been VAT reconciled, when you reverse it the new supplier refund (PR) appears on the next VAT quarter as a transaction from a previous period. You must include this previous transaction in the VAT Return.
