Credit from vendor

Hello 

 

Our business received a credit from a vendor.  I do not have any invoices to apply this credit to.   I have done a credit memo to vendor.  When I run Open Balance transactions for this vendor the credit shows.  How do I apply credit to the vendor with no invoices to apply credit to for this to come off the balance owed of vendor?   I need this credit to reduce the balance owed to vendor.  

 

Hope this makes sense -  I am using desktop version of QB 

 

Help please

In that case it's much easier: Just enter the bill-credit transaction for the credit, and you'll then owe the vendor less money - since they gave a credit.

If a vendor gave you a credit and then sent you money/a refund for it, so that you don't owe the money back, then:

- Enter a bill-credit transaction (the opposite of a bill) for the amount of the credit.

- Record a deposit for the money the vendor sent you in your bank account. When recording the deposit, use the AP account as the "From Account".

- Use Pay Bills to apply the credit to the deposit, which will appear as something to pay on the pay bills window.

Hello - 

Thank you for your response. 

We did not receive monies back,  I tried a journal entry to fix the issue with the balance owed and that did not work.   I just need to remove the credit  which had no monies involved whatsoever.  But needs to come of the balance owed to Vendor?   The vendor still has a balance with us, so the amount needs to come off the balance but not to credit towards any invoices still owed.
