Customer refund / leftover 2019 vendor credit -- how to enter on Schedule C?

Working on Schedule C "Returns and Allowances" -- customer returned some equipment, which we refunded in full.  Manufacturer gave us credit instead of a refund for our cost.  It's 2020, and we still haven't used up the credit.

 

How do we document all of this on Schedule C?

 

Thank you!

Claim the amount refunded in full as returns and allowances, if you included the sale as part of gross receipts.  

 

Include the credit in ending inventory.
