Starting with version 4.1, the policy for Refunds has been changed.
To make it easier to track payments and refunds, ADI-diary links all refunds to the corresponding invoice.
For this reason 'Refund' dialog box has been moved to the Invoice page.
A new page has been introduced to ADI-diary allowing you to calculate Partial Refund Invoices which will balance your income in the Cash Flow Page, making this an essential tool for every driving instructor.
Issue a Cash Refund
Due to the nature of the driving instructing industry where payments can be taken by both instructors
and driving schools (or a mixture of both),
Holding Amounts have been reserved for driving schools only.
Similarly, instructors use Cash, Prepaid and Top-up invoices.
This draws a definite distinction between invoices which makes Cash Flow easily understandable.

Cash lessons do not have icons displayed in the bottom-right corner.
In the popup menu select — Refund selected lesson
