# The VendorCredit Object ### Description A `VendorCredit` is transaction issued by a vendor to the accounting company, indicating a reduction or cancellation of the amount owed to the vendor. It is most generally used as an adjustment note used to rectify errors, returns, or overpayments related to a purchasing transaction. A `VendorCredit` can be applied to `Accounts Payable` Invoices to decrease the overall amount of the `Invoice`. ### Usage Example Fetch from the `GET VendorCredit` endpoint and view a company's vendor credits.
