Vendor Credit: You can create a vendor credit to offset the vendor bill. This will have two impacts: one in the original closed period and one in the current period. However, this will not remove the original bill from the closed period, it will just offset it in the current period. 2. Journal Entry: You can post a Journal Entry (JE) to accounts payable, with one side not tagged to a vendor, and the other to the vendor. Then apply that journal against the bill. However, this just shuffles the problem around, and now you have a value in A/P not associated with a vendor so it won't tie the GL to the AP aging reports. Please note that you cannot make changes to the bill (like changing the billing address) if it is in a locked period. Also, reopening a closed period is generally not recommended due to the potential for disrupting other transactions and reports.
