Refund Receipt Method Match Check

Check each refund against the method of the original payment. Preparation only, not an account action.

What to provide

The original payment methods and the refund methods used.

How it works

1. Record the original payment method.
2. Record the refund method used.
3. Flag refunds issued by a different method.
4. Return the check without refund action.

The output

refund | original_method | refund_method | amount | match

Worked fictional example

Fictional refund of 340.00 was issued as a check while the original payment of 340.00 arrived by card: a method mismatch on 1 refund, where a card refund was expected for 340.00.

Checks and limits

Keep original values, source IDs and version dates. Unknown facts stay held. Use qualified review for hiring, legal and accounting conclusions. No send, share, sign-in, scheduling, ledger change or payment. Fictional contract review is not a live account compatibility test.
