Hi, is it somehow possible to select accounts payable account on the bill expense line? Accounts that have type accounts payable are not showing in the account field. In most cases we would not need this but in this example we have a journal entry/amortization schedule where a specific accounts payable account has been used (credit) and in the bills we need to clear the balance from that account when the actual bills arrive. In local financial systems this is a normal procedure but apparently not in Netsuite. We tried the suiteGL plugin but it's not working either, it is not accepting accounts payable accounts.

hey I dont think that you can do this. Im a little bit confused as to why you would need it Are you saying that through the year you are making entries like below via a journal(amortisation schedule) Dr Expense(P&L) Cr Accounts Payable This is building up a balance and you eventually want to offset it when the actual bill comes in Dr Accounts Payable Cr Account Payable How I would normally expect to see a client do this is that they accrue the costs during the year to an accrued purchases account Dr Expense (P&L) Cr Accrued Purchases Then when the bill comes in Dr Accrued Purchases Cr Accounts Payable If you have amounts stuck in the Accounts Payable account now then you will need to choose another temporary account on the bill and then do a separate journal to clear the Accounts Payable.

you cant do this

@Steve Campbell Thank you. In our country we don't generally have this type of accounts in use but after some investigation, that works quite the same way than we have done it in here so far with other systems. So we can use that approach, thanks!
