Join nowThis situation involves bill, bill credits, and credit card refund (credit) from a vendor (not a customer). We'll call the vendor ABC. All previous transactions with ABC have been credit card charges (no bills or bill payments). We'll call our company XYZ.
XYZ owes ABC $100 but a payment is not not made because previously purchased items are returned. The total of the returns is $200
ABC issues XYZ a credit memo of $200
XYZ creates Inv 1 for $100 and a Credit Memo 2 for $200
XYZ applies $100 of CM 2 to Inv 1
XYZ will not be using ABC in the future, so it needs ABC to refund them
Vendor Center shows a credit balance of $100 for ABC
ABC credits XYZ's CC $100
XYZ creates a Credit Card Credit of $100
XYZ has been repaid the money owed but the Vendor Center still shows a credit of $100 for ABC
How does XYZ apply ABC's Credit Card Credit to Credit Memo 2?
