Question

Enter a Vendor Credit for a Vendor Bill thats already paid

I recently paid a bill for a vendor, but one of the items in the bill was damaged so i was able to get a credit for the item.

 

i am trying to go back into the bill to apply the credit for that item, but since the bill is already paid, i am unable to apply the credit to that bill.

 

any advice or ways i can "unpay" the bill and then repay it with the credit?

Double-click on the bill payment under the vendor.  Then, click 'Delete'.  Then, enter the vendor credit if you haven't already.  Then, go to Pay Bills, apply the credit, and issue payment for the remainder.

Hello Hansappliance,

 

Thank you for posting here in the Community. I'm here to help you record the vendor credit for a paid bill in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

In addition to the information shared by Rainflurry, we have an article you can check out about entering vendor refunds. We've shared some scenarios in the article depending on the type of refund you get from your vendor. Here's the link: Record a vendor refund in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Also, QuickBooks Desktop has a wide variety of ready-made vendor reports that tell you where your company stands regarding expenses and accounts payable. For your reference, I've attached an article you can visit about how to customize the reports in QuickBooks: Customize vendor reports.

 

Let us know if you still have more questions about recording vendor refunds or credits by leaving a reply. We'll get back to you. Take care, and have a great rest of the day.

An employee paid for some supplies and reimbursed for it.  The purchase order and bill were already entered so How do I show a vendor bill paid that was reimbursed to an employee?
