I am paying a vendor and trying to apply two specific credits to the bill payment. I can't find how to apply the specific credits, it is taking a portion from all of them

Desktop version you could select the credit memos you wanted to apply but I can't find that option in the online version.

It's nice to see you here in the Community, hstarrett. Let me share some information on applying vendor credits.

 

QuickBooks Online (QBO) automatically shows the available credits when paying a bill. That's why there isn't an option to select specific vendor credits for a bill payment.

 

I've got some workarounds here so you can select specific vendor credits.

 

First, you can manually adjust the amounts divided into several bills. This way, you can apply credits to one bill only. Another alternative is to pay your bills using the Expense feature.

 

Here's a step-by-step process on how:

 

  1. Click the +New button. Then, select Expense.
  2. On the Payee dropdown, choose the vendor you're paying.
  3. A panel on the right side should show up with the different bills and credits associated with the vendor. Select the specific bill and credit you want to apply.
  4. Click Save or Save and close.

 

Once done, your bill will now be marked as paid with the applied vendor credit.
