Assigning an invoice and credit to a reconciled transaction

Go to the withdrawal. Assign it to Accounts Payable with the appropriate vender. It will now associate the withdrawal with the appropriate vendor. Go to "Pay Bills" select the vendor invoice and use the "Set Credit" button to apply the withdrawal to this invoice. QuickBooks will generate a $0.00 transaction that you click on at next reconcilliation.

Hello, leathacamp.

VaTT is correct. You can change the affected account to Accounts Payable (AP) for the withdrawal transaction and ensure appropriate vendor is selected. 

Here's how:

1. Go to Accountant menu, then select Chart of Accounts.
2. Double-click the bank register and locate the withdrawal transaction.
3. Select the Accounts Payable account and assign it to the correct vendor.

Then, go to the Pay Bills and link the credit memo to the vendor's bill by clicking the Set credit button.
