Hi Mary,

It's not explicitly supported, but it should be possible to do what you
want:

Create an Invoice Item Type called "Credit Memo"
Create a new invoice for the vendor in question
  Add a Direct Charge with a Charge Type of "Credit Memo"
  Select the fund you wish to credit
  Enter the negative amount in the Billed and Paid columns.  
  Add notes, etc.
  Save the invoice

The interface will complain that negative numbers are not valid, but it
should let you save the invoice and the fund will be credited.
