Hard Copy Of Vendor Credit Memo

HOW CAN I PRINT A HARD COPY OF A CREDIT MEMO FOR MERCHANDISE ISSUED TO A VENDOR?

I assume you mean a copy of a credit note arising from "Enter Bills" - Credit, arising from returning stock to a supplier.
It is not possible to print this out. In actual fact it is the supplier who must issue the credit note. You probably want to advise him of what you are deducting so that he will then actually issue the real Credit Note.
My suggestion would be to create a new QuickBooks File - just give it a name like "Credits". You can now issue a Credit note back to yourself from the "Sales & Customers" - Refunds & Credits. Using the customise feature - layout designer, set the colour of the name "Credits" to white so it will not show & Rename the form to something Like "Pro-Forma Credit" or similar. You can recreate the items you need or import them through the export/import feature of QuickBooks, Create a Customer with your details and issue a credit to yourself. Post off a copy to the supplier and attach one to the Invoice you received.
If you want to reduce a payment by a credit note, you must firstly enter it as a Bill. You cannot post a Credit Note against a Cheque payment made out in the "Banking and Credit Cards" - Cheques form. Enter the Bill, enter the credit note and then use Pay Bills.
Hope this helps.
