I received a check from a tire vendor for used tires. Do I record it as a vendor credit or as a sale?

You can record the check you received from the tire vendor as a sale, Jackson.

Vendor credit is used to reduce the accounts payable balance for a specific vendor, whether it's due to a refund, return, or adjustment. You can apply it to future bills or track it until it's resolved.

Since you own the used tires and are selling them to the vendor, you can treat the transaction as a sale.
First, create a customer profile for the vendor and set up product items for the used tires.

Once done, enter a sales receipt for the check payment you've received. Here's how:


1. Navigate 
Create + and click Sales receipt.2. From the Customer dropdown, select a customer.3. Choose a Product/Service and enter the Amount.4. Click Save and close.
