Can I apply a JE as payment to a vendor bill the same way I can with a invoice?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it appears that you can use lines on a journal entry (JE) to apply a vendor prepayment to a bill, not a purchase order. You would need to put the Vendor in the Name field of the journal and use the same payable account. This would mimic the prepayment application through the bill payment. However, it's important to note that while you can use a JE to apply a vendor prepayment to a bill, it's not the native record for it. Journals don't have paid, open, and due dates, so they are not part of ageing. If you have a lot of vendor bills with a small remaining amount, it might be best to create individual bill credits for each one. This is because when people edit JEs, they can get unapplied, which can cause issues. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
