Vendor Credits
A VendorCredit is transaction issued by a vendor to the accounting company, indicating a reduction or cancellation of the amount owed to the vendor. It is most generally used as an adjustment note used to rectify errors, returns, or overpayments related to a purchasing transaction. A VendorCredit can be applied to Accounts Payable Invoices to decrease the overall amount of the Invoice.
