Apply supplier credits to AP supplier invoices

Apply supplier credits to AP supplier invoices using the Pay AP supplier invoices page. Supplier credits include debit memo adjustments, advances, and available inline credits.

You can apply credits either manually or automatically. You can also view credits applied to a AP supplier invoice from Pay AP supplier invoices.

Apply credits before adding AP supplier invoices to the outbox. If you already created draft payment requests and need to apply credit to any of the AP supplier invoices in the request, remove the request, apply the credits, then add the AP supplier invoices back into the outbox.

Manually apply credits to AP supplier invoices and AP supplier invoice line items

You can selectively apply credits either to an entire AP supplier invoice or specific line items. When you apply credits manually, you can drill down to see the type of credit and view the details.

If you need to, select the Clear credits button to clear the Credits to apply field. The Amount to pay field automatically updates to the correct amount.

Paying from the top level? If you enabled the restriction to limit credit to owning entities, you can only view and apply credits for AP supplier invoices created within the same entity entity.
  1. Go to Accounts Payable > All > AP supplier invoices > Pay AP supplier invoices.
  2. Apply a filter to load AP supplier invoices.

    The Credits available column shows the amount of available advances, adjustments, and inline credits for the supplier.

    Are you using an on-the-fly filter to show AP supplier invoices based on a due date range? You can filter available credits at the same time to ensure that you see only credits with transaction dates in a particular date range. For example, to see all credits created on or before a date, provide an end date for Credit date range and leave the start date empty.
  3. Select Line details next to the appropriate AP supplier invoice.

    The AP supplier invoice details page appears.

  4. Select Credit details.

    The Apply credit page appears.

    • The Credit type column shows the source of the credit: Advance, AP supplier invoice (inline credit), or Adjustment.
    • The Amount column displays the credit amount.
    • The Credits available column displays how much of the credit amount is available to apply to the selected AP supplier invoice.
  5. Select one or more checkboxes next to the credits that you want to apply.

    Intacct automatically zeroes out the Credits available field and populates the credit amount in the Credits to apply field. You can manually change this amount to anything less than the total credit amount.

  6. Select Save and return to the AP supplier invoice details page.

    The designated credit amount appears in the Credits to apply field.

  7. Select Save and return to the Pay AP supplier invoices page.

    The sum of the applied credits appears in the Credits to apply field for that AP supplier invoice.

  8. Do one of the following:
    • Apply the credit to the AP supplier invoice (leaving a remaining balance to pay later, or if the credit completely pays off the AP supplier invoice). Select Pay now, or Add to outbox.
    • Enter the rest of the Amount to pay, to pay off the AP supplier invoice. Then, select Pay now or Add to outbox.

Automatically apply credits across selected AP supplier invoices

You can automatically apply all available credits to AP supplier invoices from Pay AP supplier invoices. When you apply credits automatically, credits created recently might be applied to older AP supplier invoices. If this is not what you want, apply credits manually.

If you need to, select the Clear credits button to clear the Credits to apply field. The Amount to pay field automatically updates to the correct amount.

If your company is configured to apply inline credits automatically, inline credits are automatically consumed by the AP supplier invoice in which you create them. Adjustments and advances are created as separate transactions and are not automatically consumed.
  1. Go to Accounts Payable > All > AP supplier invoices > Pay AP supplier invoices.
  2. Apply a filter to load AP supplier invoices.
    Are you using an on-the-fly filter to show AP supplier invoices based on a due date range? You can filter available credits at the same time to ensure that you see only credits with transaction dates in a particular date range. For example, to see all credits created on or before a date, provide an end date for Credit date range and leave the start date empty.
  3. Select the appropriate AP supplier invoice.
  4. On the left side of the page above the AP supplier invoice table, select Apply credits.
