Does anyone know how I can apply a supplier credit note to an already paid invoice from that supplier ? I have searched the entire Internet and have found no answer.

I can find the invoice but cannot edit it or add the credit note and if I go through the +new/expense route I can't select it anywhere to add the credit note. Please can anyone help.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for reaching out to us, Robert1977.

 

I'll share information on how to handle suppliers' credit notes in QuickBooks Online.

 

The ability to apply supplier credit note to a paid bill or invoice is unavailable. As a workaround, you can add the credit note to the bill payment transaction under their profile and edit the paid amount if necessary. I'll show you how.

 

  1. Go to the Expenses menu.
  2. Select Suppliers.
  3. Find the supplier and locate the bill payment transaction.
  4. Click View/Edit.
  5. From the right pane, choose Add to add the supplier credit.
  6. Edit the actual payment you've made for your supplier if necessary.
  7. Once done, hit Save and close.

 

You can also refer to this article for further information on the procedure: Record a customer refund or supplier refund in QuickBooks Online.
