AP applied credits

Hello there, @ghackjr. I'm happy to share some details about managing supplier credits in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
 

When you're applying payment to a bill in QBO, the program will automatically show all the existing credits assigned to that specific supplier regardless of the date it was entered. To avoid seeing the current ones when performing the process, you can simply use the Filter option to set the correct date range. To do so, just go to the Credits section of the Bill Payment page. Please see the screenshot below for reference:

For more info about this, feel free to visit this article: Handle vendor credits and refunds in QuickBooks Online.

The program also allows you to easily track the amount you paid to a supplier for a specific period by pulling up a Transaction List by Date report. You can also utilize the Customize option to include only the detail you need the most.

Please keep me posted if you have any other concerns about managing supplier credits in QBO. I'd be glad to assist you further. Have a good one and take care.

Where do I find the Bill Payment tab?

I see Pay Bills but it does not have the credits listed.

Let me help you pay bills in QuickBooks Online (QBO), ghackjr.

QuickBooks lets you use Pay Bills to pay a bill with a credit or debit card. However, this process won't actually take payments from your actual account. This is only for recording purposes.

Let me show you how to do it.

1. Select + New.
2. Under Vendors select Pay Bills.
3. In the Payment account, select your credit card account.
4. Enter the Payment date.
5. Select the bill you want to pay.
6. Click Save, Save, and print, or Save and close.

If you want to pay bills online, you can sign up for Online Bill Pay via QBO. Before getting started, you may want to review on how this option works in the system by checking out this article: What is Online Bill Pay?

Once you're ready, you can sign up and start paying bills online. Please browse this article for the detailed steps: Learn how to sign up for Online Bill Pay via QuickBooks Online.

In addition to this, since you've connected your Credit Card account, QuickBooks will download transactions from this bank. All you need to do is match and categorize them. The transactions go into your accounts after you review them.

There is a misunderstanding of what I am asking. This is not a credit card payment.

I am paying a vendor bill with a check.

I am in auto repair. We at times purchase remanufactured parts that have a core charge. When we return the cores, we get credit applied to our statement. It is very common to receive the credit on the following months statement.

I need to filter out this months credits from last month’s statement.
