If a customer returns items for which you've recorded a payment, or if a customer cancels an order for items for which you've recorded a payment, you can record a return using the credit form and refund dialog.
The Refund dialog should only be used in cases when you've already received payment for an invoice and now you want to return cash or, in the case of an overpayment, to refund the cash balance.
