Supplier credit applied to the wrong legal entity

A supplier credit should settle the entity that owns the relevant liability unless an authorized arrangement supports another treatment.

Records needed for this question

Credit memo, original invoice and entity-level statements.

How to investigate

Trace the credit to the original buyer and review any intercompany transfer authorization.

An illustrative review decision

When a supplier statement nets credits across a group, check the buyer entity on the source invoice. A correction may require an authorized allocation process rather than merely relabeling the credit locally.

What can lead to the wrong conclusion?

A group-wide net balance can conceal an unsettled invoice in one legal entity.

The result to retain

An entity-specific credit allocation correction request.
