How to Categorize a Vendor Refund from Bank Transactions

I have linked the business bank account to QuickBooks Online.  Under Transactions -> Banking, there is a Refund from a Vendor.  

I went to Account: Income / Detail Type: Discounts/Refunds Given, it has the following note:

 

Use Discounts/refunds given to track discounts you give to customers.

This account typically has a negative balance so it offsets other income.

For discounts from vendors, use an expense account, instead.

 

So, what Account / Detail Type should I be using for a Vendor Refund?

 

This article/video doesn't mention anything about a Vendor Refund.
