Before you can enter a purchase in MYOB, you'll need to add some details about the supplier you're buying from. These details will be saved so you don't have to enter them each time you buy from the same supplier.

What if I'm adding a supplier who has given me a credit?

If the supplier you're adding has given you a credit, perhaps for some goods you've returned to them, add them as described above then create a supplier return to record the credit (sometimes called a supplier debit). When creating the return you'll need to allocate the amount to an account which will be specific to your business, so you might need to check with your accounting advisor if unsure.
