A credit balance shows up on a vendor statement when you have returned defective goods, for example. You can call the vendor and request a check for that amount or apply it to any outstanding balance that you owe that vendor. Do you mean "debit memo" instead of debit balance? A debit memo is sent to a vendor to let it know that you are making a deduction from what you owe to cover defective goods, a short shipment, a price reduction, or some other matter. When the vendor receives the debit memo and agrees with your reduction, it will send you a credit memo. And then, you may have a credit balance on your account- depending on whether or not you owe them any money.
