# Add a Vendor Credit

Vendor credits allow you to record refunds, corrections, or vendor adjustments. These credits reduce the amount your firm owes and keep your Accounts Payable records accurate. By entering vendor credits as they occur, you maintain clear visibility into outstanding balances and ensure your job costing and expense reporting remain correct.

1. Select **+ New** in the upper-right menu.
2. (Optional) Go to **Bills** in your left menu > **Vendor Credit**. 
3. Choose **Vendor Credit**.
4. Fill in the essential details:
   * **Vendor** – Select the vendor issuing the credit.
   * **Job** – Select the job associated with the credit (optional).
   * **Transaction Date**
   * **No.** (credit reference number)
   * **Amount**
5. Under **Items**, add or adjust credit line items. For each item, include:
   * **Account**
   * **Description** (optional)
   * **Cost Code**
   * **Total Price**
6. Review your entries and select **Save** to record the vendor credit.
