I can help you with your transactions, @Boxwood.
You can delete that bill payment check that you’ve created. Then, recreate it to set the credit.
Here's how:
- Go to your Vendors menu and then Vendor Center.
- On the page that appears, proceed to the Transactions tab and click Bill Payments.
- Click the transaction and then click the Delete icon at the top.
To record a vendor’s credit:
- From the Vendors menu, select Enter Bills.
- Click the Credit radio button and provide the Vendor name.
- Tap the Items Tab and enter the items with the same amounts as the refund check.
- Click Save & Close.
Once done, you can now link the deposit to the vendor's credit you've setup:
- Go back to the Vendors menu and click Pay Bills.
- Check the Deposit that matches the Vendor check amount.
- Select Set Credits.
- Apply the Bill Credit you created earlier then click Done.
- Click Pay Selected Bills.

Please know that I'm just a post away if you have any other questions about the vendor's credit. Have a good one.
