Hi BucaNina,

Welcome to the Community. Being able to record your supplier credit is essential in order to keep your books up to date. QuickBooks Online is a powerful program that gives you the ability to simply track your sales and expenses. I'd be gald to point you in the right direction to record supplier credit in your account.

If you need to apply a supplier credit on a bill, you can click on +New > and then select Supplier credit > depending on how you record purchases with this supplier, enter the Category details or Item details you’re getting a credit for. > Select Save and close.

Once created, you can follow these steps to appy the supplier credit toward any open bill.
 

  1. Click on + New.
  2. Select Pay bills or Pay bill.
  3. Select a bill for your supplier from the list. You'll see the available credit with this supplier in the Credit Applied field.
  4. Complete the rest of the fields like you normally do.
  5. Click on Save and close.


If you have received a refund from the supplier, I encourage you to review this article as it explains how to handle supplier credits and refunds in QuickBooks Online.

Let me know if you have any questions, I'll be happy to help.
