2. Click the Layout button and choose either Service or Professional, if necessary, then click OK.
3. Enter transaction information in the top of the Purchases window as you normally do.
4. Enter whatever text you'd like to use to describe the transaction in the Description column for the first line item.
5. In the Acct # column for the first line item, enter the account you designated for tracking returns and allowances.
6. In the Amount column for the first line item, enter the amount the vendor owes you. Enter this amount as a negative amount; in other words, use a minus symbol (-) before you enter the dollar amount.
7. Click Record. A vendor debit is created.
8. When you're ready to settle the debit, click Purchases Register in the Purchases Command Center then click the Returns & Debits tab.
