Hello,
This has been an on-going issue for me and my clients. The instructions you provided are for QuickBooks Desktop, not QB Online. There's no way to turn off the "Apply Vendor Credits" option in QB Online as far as I can see. I've also called QB Online directly several times on this issue and they all tell me there's no way to turn off this option.
If anyone has any ideas, I would love to hear how you resolved this issue. Even when I zero the amounts in the Vendor Credit Column when I'm posting Vendor Payments, if I go back into the payment, QB Online overrides the payment I posted and applies the Vendor Credits to all open Vendor Credits...very frustrating!
