A vendor credit is a financial transaction that reduces the amount of money owed to a vendor for a future bill.
For example:
- When I paid for new a new staircase, I was initially charged $400; since I already paid and it ended up costing only $350, I was given a $50 vendor credit.
- I prefer to receive vendor credits instead of an actual refund since it reinforces the strong relationship I have with my vendors.
- Cashing in vendor credits is just as valuable as real money in the eyes of a vendor.
In Buildium, you can enter and process credits you receive from a vendor. When you use a vendor credit, the amount due to the vendor will be reduced by the amount of the credit issued. If you enter a vendor credit by mistake or need to change any information on a vendor credit, you can do so from the vendor financials page.
