# List vendor credits

> Returns a paginated list of vendor credit memos for the entity. Supports filtering by
`vendor_account_id`, `status` (open / partially_applied / fully_applied / void), and
`date_range`. Each credit record shows the remaining open balance available for application
to vendor bills.
Requires `purchasing:read` scope.

  title: Arcus ERP Public API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >
    Arcus ERP public REST API. Designed for external integrations and data
    migration.


    **Authentication.** Bearer token (API key) via the `Authorization` header.

    Format: `Authorization: Bearer ark_live_ent_<code>_<random>` (or
    `ark_test_*` for sandbox).

    API keys are issued per-entity in **Settings > Developers > API Keys**.


    **Entity scoping.** The entity is encoded in the API key prefix; routes are
    flat

    (e.g. `/v1/accounts`, `/v1/orders`, `/v1/products`). A small set of platform
    endpoints

    (migration, reconciliation, events, webhook endpoints, API keys) use the

    `/v1/entities/{entity_id}/...` form -- those are noted in their tags.


    **Key capabilities.**
      - Related-resource hydration via `?expand[]=` (see `x-arcus-expand` on each resource).
      - Cursor-based pagination (`starting_after` / `ending_before` / `limit`).
      - Idempotency via the `Idempotency-Key` header.
      - Webhook events for asynchronous notification.
      - Conditional requests / ETag for cache validation.

        A vendor credit -- a ledger entry that reduces what you owe a vendor.
        Issued from a vendor return, a negotiated discount, or a manual grant.
        Posts GL: DR vendor_returns_receivable / CR vendor_credits at issuance.
        Apply to an open vendor bill via POST /v1/ap-payments with
        `vendor_credit_ids[]`. Mirrors the canonical `public.vendor_credits`
        ledger (NOT the legacy vendor_bills negative-amount pattern).
