Hello everyone! CSV updates to existing journal entries caused over 3700 invoices to be unapplied from their payments. NetSuite applied random journal entries to these payments. Is there a way to reverse that or reapply these invoices in a faster way than manual? Because of NetSuite's limitation regarding customer payments, there is no way to apply credits also. Huge problem!

I learned this the painful way one time. It was quite the undertaking to fix it.
a
I can imagine! Do you mind sharing some details? Did you have to do that manually or was able to use other solutions?
k
I was able to torture a CSV import to figure it out - but the bigger issue was figuring out which payments were applied to which transactions
a
Interesting! Were you able to reapply credits using CSV import? I do have a record of which transactions belong to which payments.
k
I recall being able to do so - but I do know I spent a boat load of time figuring it out
a
I know that NetSuite doesn't do this natively. Was it a Suitelet?

NetSuite Professional Services learnt this the hard way on our account once. That was fun times 😄 lol . The poor dude wished he'd never hit execute on the Map/Reduce
You're in luck if you have a recently refreshed sandbox

NetSuite Professional Services are hands down the worst! They are the reason why I got into this fiasco. We had to restructure our whole accounting. Can I restore the copy from sandbox to production?
k
No, unfortunately

Will the following work? 1- delete the problematic payment 2- create a new payment manually, apply all necessary credits, and any line from the invoice sublist. 3- Do CSV import to update the new payment with all the invoices (replace the one applied manually with the correct list)
k
why do you care if the credit is applied from the payment?
as long as it's applied to the right transaction, what does it matter?
a
the payment amount is not the same as the total invoices. Are you suggesting applying the deduction via the disc. taken field?
k
No. I'm saying you should be able to do a zero dollar payment and have it re-apply both transactions against one another
