Greetings!

 

I can share some insights on how you can use the credit and apply it to the invoice in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

A credit note is used to reduce the customer's current open balance or as payment for an invoice. You can apply a credit note when recording payment for a customer’s invoice. However, sending the remaining credit note value to the customer as a transfer is not possible.

 

In QuickBooks, you can handle credit notes in a few ways: create an immediate credit note to reduce a customer's balance or enter a delayed credit for future use. For more details, see this article: Create and apply credit notes or delayed credits in QuickBooks Online.

 

In addition, check out this article to see steps on how to create a journal entry to transfer credit from one customer to another: How can I transfer credit from one customer to another?
