If a payment recorded for a request needs to marked as credited (e.g. the payment was returned by the grantee or award recipient), you can enter a negative payment to reflect the situation. This will decrease the amount paid and increase the balance for the request.
This is the appropriate action to take if you want to show that a payment was returned/credited, and keep a record of the original payment.
If you need to simply remove a payment that was recorded, and do not want to retain a record of the original payment, refer to Delete a Payment instead.
