# How do I record my social media ad expenses and TDS in Zoho Books if I make full payment for the bill and later request for refund with a TDS certificate?

Let’s say you run social media advertisements for ₹1000 and deduct TDS as ₹100. Since you’re recording full payment for the bill, you can record it without including TDS. For the amount you’ve paid, you can record a vendor advance and apply it to the bill.

To create a bill:

*   Go to _Purchases_ on the left sidebar and select **Bills**.
*   Click **\+ New** in the top right corner.
*   In the _New Bill_ page, enter the required details and click **Save as Open** or **Save as Draft**, and mark it as **Open** later.

The bill will be created. Now, create a vendor advance for the amount including the TDS amount. Here’s how:

*   Go to _Purchases_ on the left sidebar and select **Payments Made**.
*   Click **\+ New** in the top right corner.
*   In the next page, navigate to the **Vendor Advance** tab and fill in the required details.
*   In the _TDS_ field, select the TDS you want to associate with the payment.
*   Click **Save as Paid** or **Save as Draft** and record the payment later.

The vendor advance will be created. Now, you can [apply this advance to the vendor’s bill](/in/books/help/payments-made/functions.html#apply-vendor-advance). Once your vendor pays back the TDS amount, you can [record it as a refund](/in/books/help/payments-made/functions.html#record-refund-for-advance-payment) in Zoho Books.
