# Manage Vendor Invoices

A **vendor invoice** is a bill from a vendor that you would like to manually record within Autobooks.

A **vendor credit** is a credit against a bill from a vendor. For example, a vendor may have offered you a discount on your original invoice and you want to note that accordingly.

_Both vendor invoices and vendor credits can be created by clicking the **New vendor invoice** button. See the article [Creating a new vendor invoice/credit](https://4147193.hs-sites.com/knowledge/creating-a-new-vendor-invoice/credit?hsLang=en) for more information._

Click on a specific **vendor invoice** to view the side menu. You can **View** **details** of the invoice, **Pay** **vendor invoice** (if available through your financial institution), or **Cancel** **invoice.**

Clicking on a specific **vendor credit** will bring up the side menu where you can **View** **details** of the credit, **Apply** **credit against** **vendor invoice**, or **Cancel** **credit.**

_**Vendor Credits** will show as negative dollar amount, since this will be reducing the amount your business owes for a particular **vendor invoice** once it has been applied._
