How do I record a vendor credit? (Credit Payables)

Updated this week

If you receive a credit from a vendor, you can record it in Breeze by creating a credit payable. To process a credit payable, you combine it with a regular payable to the same vendor. Breeze subtracts the credit from the regular payable and makes a payment for the difference.

To create a credit payable

Go to Accounting > Accounts Payable > Payables. Click the Add New button.

Complete the Payable screen as you normally would.

In the Amount field, enter a negative amount.

Click Save.

To process a credit payable

To process a credit payable, you match it with a regular payable to the same vendor with an equal or larger amount. Breeze subtracts the credit from the other payable and makes a payment for the difference.

Go to Accounting > Accounts Payable > Make Payments. Filter by vendor.

In the following example, there are two payables: a regular payable for 745.00 and the credit payable for 300.00.

Detail view:

Select both payables and click Make Payments. Breeze creates a payment for the difference, in this case, 445.00.
