You can use the credit for any open or future bills towards the same vendor, Ameri. I'll explain this information further.


Once you overpay a bill, you can utilize the overpayment as a credit towards any future purchases. If you haven't recorded the credit yet, you can create a vendor credit by following these steps:
 

  1. From the left panel, click +New.
  2. Hit Vendor credit.
  3. Choose the vendor from the Vendor dropdown, then enter the necessary details depending on how you record purchases with the vendor.
  4. After that, select Save and Close.

 

 

If done, you can now apply the vendor credit to a bill. Proceed to the steps for a guide:
 

  1. In the +New, click Pay bills.
  2. From the list, choose a bill for your vendor. You'll see the available credit with this vendor in the Credit Applied field.
  3. Put details for the necessary fields.
