In some cases it is necessary to extend a customer credit to an invoice for a write off, a customer discount due to an issue, a customer overpayment or any other situation that calls for a credit. There are two methods of applying credits. It is important to note that only one of them allows you to push to QuickBooks while the other can be used as a general credit or recording of an overpayment. To apply a credit follow the instructions below:
