Vendor Credit - Purchase Order

How do I link a vendor credit to a purchase order? I want to use a vendor credit I entered in QB towards open POs that need to be paid. Therefore, I want to link them together so I have a history of what the credit was applied to. Thx!

Vendor Credit - Purchase Order

You can't link a Vendor Credit to a Purchase order, Lisa. But you can convert the Purchase order into a Bill and then link the Vendor Credit. I'm here to guide you through the step-by-step process.

 

If you already have a Purchase order, you have to convert it into a Bill. Here's how:

  1. Click the +New at the Navigation panel.
  2. Select Bill under the Vendors tab.
  3. Choose the vendor for which you have already created a Purchase order.
  4. At the right side of the page, the Add to Bill box will pop up, then click Add.
  5. Click Save.

After that, click the Mark as paid to route you into the Bill Payment page.

There, you can link the Vendor Credit to pay or reduce your bill by ticking the specific Bill you want to pay. Then, select the Vendor Credit you want to apply from the Credits section.
