Definable and explicable A delayed credit is any credit that is applied to a later accounting period. Either a profit was made or a cost was incurred. The delayed credit feature in QuickBooks lets users know if a credit is a current liability or an asset related to inventory.

The creditor account will be financial rather than inventory if the debt is current.
