At any time you wish to apply the saved and remaining amounts of a credit, after closing the credit entry/apply window,
NOTE: Credit amounts are not entered into the General Journal until they have been applied against an invoice. Thus, the only amount reflected in the journals and general ledger are the amounts of credits applied. If a credit is entered into the database but not applied it has no effect on your financial reports. Deleting a credit which has not yet been applied also has no effect since it was never entered into your journals or ledger in the first place.
