I have a vendor with a credit balance that I need to apply a debit journal entry to so I can clear the credit balance.  How do I do that?

Good morning, @lparker3

 

It's great to see you back in the Community! 

 

You can easily create a journal entry by using the steps below: 

 

  1. Go to the +New button on the left-hand menu bar. 
  2. Press the Journal Entry option. 
  3. On the first line, choose an account from the Account field. 
  4. On the next line, select the other account you're moving money to or from. 
  5. Check the amounts - you should have the same amount in the Credit column on one line and the Debit column on the other. This means the accounts are in balance. 
  6. Enter the reason why you made the journal entry within the memo section. 
  7. Tap Save and new or Save and close

 

In addition, if you're unsure of how you need to enter the debit and credit for this journal entry, I recommend reviewing this guide. Also, check with your accountant to be sure this is right for your business or for more details. 

 

This should do the trick. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask. Bye for now!

Please reread my original question. 

 

I have the journal entry made.  I have a credit balance on a vendor that I need to apply the journal entry to in order to clear it off of the AP Aging Summary report.
