How to refund a customer after generating a credit memo

[mujeerhashmi]

We have our use case where we receive advances via payment entry and sometime have to return the advances partially.

We pass a journal entry and then do reconciliation of payment entry against the journal entry.

Easy way to return advance amount

Right now we pass JE and then use payment reconciliation. This is not user friendly. Does any easy method exists for this or how about having return button for payments entries that have Unallocated amount. Just like sales return.
