Let's make sure you can create and issue a debit note to your vendor in QuickBooks Online. Since you're using QuickBooks International, the Supplier credit is an option that you can use. For some reason, this option is for whom the debit note has to be created. If you don't see a Debit note in the selection, you can follow the steps below:
Go to +New and select Supplier credit.
Enter the vendor's name, and other required details.
Then Save and close.
After that, we need to create a Bill, and enter the necessary information, here's how:
Go to +New, then select Bill.
Enter the vendor's name, and other required details.
Then Save and close.
Then, create an expense to link supplier credit and bill. Here's how:
+New then select Expense.
Enter the vendor's name.
A window will pop up on the right side of the screen.
