How do you enter AP Return Merchandice Credit

[rporter1952]

From time to time we return product after we have paid an invoice and we receive a credit notice.
Can you use the AP invoice to record this credit?
Would the software understand this credit and hold off printing checks for a vendor until there is a positive payment due?
Right now we have been holding entry of new invoices until we have a positive payment due.
However, this throws off the expense records in our reports.
Anyone have examples of how they have done this?
