Hi, is it really not possible to change the income account in the invoice? Or select multiple income accounts for an item that could be chosen in the invoice? We have some items that could belong to different income accounts based on the use case. I found this article but we don't have the revenue recognition. http://www.netsuiterp.com/2019/01/use-multiple-income-account-for-items.html

Not natively. We have created custom GL plug ins that reclassify transactions to other income accounts (or COGS) based on some criteria in the transaction. Let me know if you need help!

How much work would that require?

I agree with the SuiteGL plug in route. It's actually not a large script effort assuming that something on the transaction will tell us which account to use. And if there are multiple income accounts that are possible, you may even need a custom record mapping table to keep track of all possibilities... although if there's only 2 or 3 options, for example, then perhaps only 2 or 3 custom fields on the item is needed. Just depends on the exact business scenario you're looking to solve. Feel free to reach out if need be.

Thank you for the comments! In our case this is pretty easy, there is only like 2 or max 3 different income accounts that are used. And 95% the times we use the one that is set in the item record. Our developers started to investigate the suiteGL plug in documentations and working with the scripts, thanks for the help. If we have any questions I'll let you know.
