CYBER MONDAY SALE 70% OFF QuickBooks for 3 months* Ends 12/5
Buy nowHello - I have a vendor who needs to know what credit memo number and amount of the credit we used for a large payment we made. The credits do not show up on the check stub and I'm not finding them in any reports. When we use a credit, it shows up as a 0.00 amount, and that we paid 0.00. It does NOT show the credit amount at all. I can't just match them up because some credits were so large they covered several invoices. I can't choose the particular credit that goes any particular invoice in this business. So, I have 2 questions 1- is there a list of credits by vendor report and WHERE might that be? 2- why doesn't it show up on a check stub so that we can all see which credit was used?
We can directly open the bill to pinpoint the credit that was applied, and I'm more than happy to guide you through the steps.
To address your concerns, please note QuickBooks Desktop does not currently provide a built-in report for tracking which credit was applied to a specific bill. Additionally, the check stubs are designed not to show the details of the credits associated with payments.
We completely understand how crucial this information is for managing vendor relationships and accurately tracking payments. Thus, I encourage you to share your thoughts with our development team by submitting your suggestions.
Here’s how you can do it:

@RogelioL RE: Additionally, the check stubs are designed not to show the details of the credits associated with payments.
That is incorrect. Have you tried it or did you just repeat nonsense someone else fed you?
When you pay a bill and apply a credit or discount to it, and then print the bill payment check with a voucher, the credits will be printed. QuickBooks has done this for at least 25 years.
Here's an example:
You can also go to the Bill, open the History (Ctrl-H) and print it, and the credit will also appear:
I have been working with qb for 10+ years. The only time a credit is mentioned on a check is if it is used with the matching invoice. I have a payment to a vendor that was going to be over $15,000 but I had that much in credits that were NOT associated with any of those or any other invoices. The amount of the credit used isn’t on the check either, so neither the we nor the vendor can tell which ones we used
Yes, the credit has to actually be applied to the A/P Bill for it to appear on the Payment when you print it. Same for the Bill's history.
To add:
If you paid a bill using only credits, QB displayed this window at the time you applied the credit(s) to the bill:

The highlighted line shows how to print a Bill Payment Stub so that you can see what credits were used as payment. I prefer the bill payment stub to the bill history report, but to each their own.
The copy of the bill stub only shows -0- in the balance column because that is included in the total $$ of credits available. The total of credits used was $50,735.59 but only a couple actually showed up on the stub. If someone could tell me how to attach a pdf here, I would appreciate it. I keep getting the message that I need to be signed in, which I am. Oh quickbooks.....

Unfortunately, the term 'credit' does NOT show up in the transaction history
I don't know what your data looks like - what pays what. I can't really tell from the bill payment history - which may only show things the payment is applied to or associated with.
However, if you want to see what pays the Bill, print the bill history as previously mentioned.
RE: Unfortunately, the term 'credit' does NOT show up in the transaction history
If a bill's history doesn't show credits applied, then no bill credits pay it down.
