Hi, I am wondering if I can apply an expense (which has already been reconciled and is part of last year's closed books) to clear a bill (which is also from last year and was paid in that same year in real life). I want to apply it as a credit in order to clear the bill from the AP balance for a vendor. Is that a suitable means of clearing the bill? Or is there another way?
