Is there a way to enter a credit to a vendor then use that credit to offset the purchase of a service without creating bills or having a method of payment for this

Hello @kathy46,

A vendor credit should have a bill (or open bill) to apply it. Let me guide you on the process.

First, create a vendor create by following these steps:

1. Go to +New, then Vendor credit.
2. Enter the vendor credit details.
3. Click Save and close.

After that, apply the credit to a bill. Here's how:

1. Go to +New, then Bill.
2. Type in the bill details. Then, Save.
3. Click the Make payment button at the top right.
4. Scroll down to the Credits section and make sure to mark the Vendor Credit box.
5. Snap Save and close.
