How to enter credit to an expense?

Hi there, @tvdwense.

Let me share with you the steps on how to enter credit to an expense in QuickBooks Online (QBO), here's how:

First, let's create a vendor credit and make sure that it links to the expense account for the specific vendor, here's how:

1. Go to the +New tab and choose Vendor credit.
2. In the Vendor dropdown, select your vendor.
3. Depending on how you record purchases with this vendor, enter the Category details or Item details. Usually, this is the category, product, or service you’re getting credit for.
4. Hit Save and close.

Next, deposit the money you got from the refund:

1. Click the +New button.
2. Select Bank Deposit.
3. In the Account drop-down menu, select the account where you got the refund.
4. From the Add funds to this deposit section, fill out the necessary information.
5. Tap Save and close when done.

For more details, please check this article: Manage vendor credits. 

Also, to have a summary of all the money you paid to a vendor for the year, you can run a Transaction List by Date report. To do so, please check out this link: Run a report with vendor totals. 

Please know that you can always post here if you have other QuickBooks concerns. I'd be happy to help you. Take care always.
