Hi tandy1000,

The article you shared is for QuickBooks Desktop for Windows. I'll be happy to share insights about this.

It's a bit different in QuickBooks for Mac because when you make bill payments, the credit and bill to be paid should be selected in the Pay Bills window so the credit will be applied as payment to the bill. You can click Select All Bills if you don't see the credit that you're looking for.

Please refer to the article about entering credit for a vendor. It provides additional details on how you can create vendor credits and apply them as payments to your bills. It has screenshots, too.

If you have other questions in mind, please don't hesitate to go back to this thread. The QuickBooks Team is always here to help.
