Hello there, Heidi1.
I'm here to answer your questions regarding using vendor credits. Then, provide an alternative method for recording partial payments.
At this moment, Bill Pay doesn't support recording partial payments. Our development team is actively working on implementing this functionality into QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), and we plan to have it ready later this year.
As a workaround, you can create a separate bill of a lesser amount, or edit the total amount. I'm here to ensure the process is a breeze for you.
To enter a new bill:
- In your company file, head to the Vendors menu at the top bar and select Enter Bills.
- Click the Vendor drop-down and choose the name of your supplier from the list.
- Enter the correct date in the Date field.
- Fill in the remaining fields.
- In the Amount column, enter a lesser amount of the figure.
- Click Save and Schedule Payment.
You can go over this reference to learn how to handle the following activity: Pay bills online from QuickBooks Desktop. From there, you'll find answers to common questions about the feature and how the program handles the transactions.
Furthermore, this article will guide you on how to track the money you owe to your vendors: Accounts Payable workflows in QuickBooks Desktop. It contains a list of topics on how each task is performed in your company file.
Keep in touch if you have additional questions about recording your bill payments or concerns about QuickBooks. I'd be delighted to respond to them.
