has anyone used netsuite's vendor prepayment feature? it's baffling to me that you can only select a single prepayment account, and it cannot be changed on the transaction at all

actually it's probably fine, though I wish I could set it to be the vendor's AP account and not be forced into choosing an Other Current Asset account

You can have subsidiary-specific prepayment accounts though they are still not flexible enough. Probably, through SuiteGL?

right - thankfully the use case for this is small so i'm hoping the native approach will work - only bummer is that open prepayments don't show on the vendor record a la the vendor's balance being affected

I think this is to avoid an awkward conversation with auditors. But it would be nice to have it as an option

I think once the users see how the prepayment works, they'll be OK with it. Just would be nice to track on the vendor record, even in a separate bucket ("prepayment balance") - though I suppose that's not too difficult to add as a summary saved search field
