So you suggest I go to the original entry and reduce the amount spent
by the amount refunded?

No, well not if you want to keep books properly.
a) You should enter a transaction to record this. Normally, when you
incur an expense, was a debit to the expense and a credit to cash. This
is simply the other way around, debit cash and credit the expense. The
description should refer to the original transaction.
b) Even if you were CORRECTING a prior transaction, the proper way is
NOT to go back and alter the original transaction. The proper way is to
enter a transactions that makes the correction, indicating in the
description that this is what you were doing (refer here to the original)
