Thank you for the detailed information, @Rachael Mc.
Instead of recording a credit note, you must have entered a supplier's credit and apply it to your future bills. To get started, you can delete the credit note, then start recording a supplier credit transaction. I'm here to guide you with the details.
To delete the credit note:
- Open the transaction.
- Select Delete from the More button.
To create a supplier credit:
- Go to the (+) New icon, then choose Supplier credit under the Suppliers section.
- Fill in the necessary information including the item details and amount.
- Save the transaction.
Once completed, you're now ready to pay your bills with the credit recorded. To avoid getting the same error message, you can check out instructions provided under Scenario 2: Pay bills using supplier credits from this article.
