All of the answers and solutions ive seen is "add credit as a check", and similar responses, we are in 2022, hardly anyone is writing checks, its all debt/credit cards. for example i buy $200 in parts for a car, the customer never comes and now i have a $200 credit from that vender coming back to my card, i try to put a vendor credit into my system, as basic as that sounds to be able to do, and i cant get it to apply the credit to my bank account even when i go to transfer or record deposit, when i try to enter another expense for that vendor, the credit attempts to pop up on the right side, which is on a completely different transaction now, i dont want John's ac compressor credit coming into the Expense of Ashley's radiator. Ive tried to use quickbooks as my accounting program but some of this basic stuff is complicated or impossible to just do simply so im trying to figure out if there is just a simple basic way to do what im trying to do that im not aware of or if i should try another more geared to automotive repair accounting program
