Problem
When trying to refund the payment on invoice #xxxxxx, customer is getting two errors:
We were unable to complete the refund.
Incorrect refund amount of <xx>: greater than available payment amount <xx>
Solution
The automated refund workflow creates a negative invoice with a negative payment to account for the refund. The negative invoice and negative payment are linked. In cases where the task being refunded is set to be taxable, the system tries to generate a larger amount than the original amount which causes the errors.
To address the errors:
Go to the Pricebook from where the task was made taxable.
Find the refund task and remove the Taxable checkmark.
Refund the payment.
