I still have an unapplied credit memo from a vendor and it reflected as negative amount in my Accounts payable part in Balance Sheet how will I fix this?

Hi there, @J4mes.

A negative vendor credit on a balance sheet report indicates an overpayment or a credit balance owed to the company by a vendor, meaning the company has paid more than the outstanding amount.

It appears as negative because creating a vendor credit will debit your Accounts Payable (A/P), which decreases the liability account. The amount will be zeroed out once you apply the vendor credit to your next purchase from the affected vendor or create a journal entry to credit the affected accounts.

Before doing so, I recommend reaching out to your accountant so they can guide you on which accounts to choose.

Additionally, you can take a visit to this article to learn how you can apply your vendor credit based on the steps that apply to you: Record a vendor refund in QuickBooks Desktop.

@J4mes   It will zero out when you apply it to an invoice or return the credit amount to the person that paid it.
