Description

AP Credits are used to record a reduction in Accounts Payable, either for credits against existing Bills or amounts owed by Vendors. AP Credits are different from Vendor Credits, as it is its own document for a particular Vendor, and that is never applied to a particular Bill. Vendor Credit is a credit amount that is created for a particular Vendor and later applied directly against a Bill in the Pay Bills tab of the Cash Management module.


Please note, refer to Apply Refund Credit in AP to complete the process.

Important Considerations

  • When an AP Credit is created, its status is 'created', and associated Journal Entries are created in 'draft' status.
  • An AP Credit's Journal Entries cannot be modified, you must edit the AP Credit itself and the associated Journals will be updated.
  • Once an AP Credit is approved, the Journal Entries will be posted.
