Things to know
- If the vendor credit pays the bill in full, it will be marked as Paid and will not appear on the Pay page
- If there is still a balance, it will appear on the Pay page as Partially Paid
- The Bill will be paid with credits notification will only show if the bill is paid in full with vendor credits applied
- If vendor credits applied partially pays a bill, when the remainder of the bill is paid, the payment notification email to the vendor will list any vendor credits and payment applied
- Unapproved, denied, unassigned and approved credits are able to be applied to bills, the approval status does not prevent the application. If you do not want a credit applied, it is best to delete/deactivate the credit
