We appreciate you for posting here in the Community space, @pshirkey. Let me provide insights about automatically applying for vendor credits in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
Yes, we can stop automatically applying vendor credits in payments by turning off the Automatically apply bill payments option in QBO. Note that it'll automatically apply credits to the oldest existing bill if this is on. To turn it off, you can follow the steps below:
- In the Gear icon, go to Account and Settings.
- Click the Advanced menu and choose Automation.
- Turn off the Automatically apply bill payments option.
- After that, Save and Done.
You may also want to run vendor reports in QBO to track the actual transactions for the purchases of items and categorize them by the vendor for the period you specify.
You can reply to this post for more queries about managing your vendors and payments inside QBO. I'll be glad to help you. Have a good day!
