Join nowWe appreciate you for posting here in the Community space, @pshirkey. Let me provide insights about automatically applying for vendor credits in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
Yes, we can stop automatically applying vendor credits in payments by turning off the Automatically apply bill payments option in QBO. Note that it'll automatically apply credits to the oldest existing bill if this is on. To turn it off, you can follow the steps below:
You may also want to run vendor reports in QBO to track the actual transactions for the purchases of items and categorize them by the vendor for the period you specify.
You can reply to this post for more queries about managing your vendors and payments inside QBO. I'll be glad to help you. Have a good day!
I checked that and everything was turned off already. I turned everything on, saved it, then turned everything back off and saved it. It still adds the vendor credit automatically
Hello there, pshirkey.
Let me add some troubleshooting steps to prevent QuickBooks from adding vendor credit automatically in payments.
Corrupted cache files usually cause unexpected behavior when working with the software on carrying out different business tasks. Hence, I recommend utilizing a private browser since vendor credit automatically applies after turning off the feature. This will help isolate browser-related issues.
You can proceed to these keyboard shortcuts depending on your browser:
Once it doesn't automatically apply for the vendor credit, switch back to your regular browser and clear its cache. The system's supported browser also ensures the best and most secure experience.
However, if the issue persists, you can contact our support for further assistance. All the necessary tools are available with them to assist you with your concerns.

I have done that and it still automatically applies credits...please make it stop, it is completely screwing up the accounts and is costing me MEGA amounts of time. This should be a click and done.
Thank you for joining the thread, Robin.
I understand that you want the vendor credit not to apply automatically. For the meantime, the feature to turn off the automation for vendor credit is currently unavailable.
We can manually edit the vendor's credit into zero. However, it will be a great feature to add. I suggest to submit a feedback to our Project Engineers.
Here's how to submit:
