Is it possible to get the vendor to populate on the fixed asset depreciation entry? I mean I know I could script it, but that seems like a common thing that should be configurable.

For me Depreciation journal entries for fixed assets don’t include supplier names because depreciation reflects the asset’s loss in value over time, not an external transaction with a supplier.

Yeah, I think this ask is more about making the detail easily accessible to other systems that are taking GL feeds from us (FP&A). To be clear, I'm not a CPA or anything though, so 🤷‍♂️. I don't think vendor details need to be on anything other than payables, but I can see how one would want to have the detail directly on the GL, and I don't think it would hurt anything being there.

I understand the requirement. Have you attempted a saved search using ‘created from’ or ‘applied to’ criteria to see if any relevant details emerge? Or create dépréciation search ( just a proposal to potentially have the JE number and make groupings by JE) If that doesn’t yield results, I believe scripting might be the only other solution to have a name directly in your JE

Yeah, I could probably get something similar through reporting just inside NetSuite, but then I've created a whole other challenge for myself of needing to setup new integrations and figure out how to hook those into all the other systems that are taking GL feeds and then recombine them in those systems. But sounds like nothing natively configurable for this - good to know. Thanks!

Depending where you pull this to I guess the target system should also have ability to enrich e.g. a GL entry based on an additional table or join, a lot of GL data would need this in my experience. I would not recommend touching the standard module too much unless absolutely necessary and this cannot fall in to that category imo.

Could try the FAM Transaction Field Map record. I've used that before to set custom segments. Not sure if it would work for Vendors, but worth a shot.
Hmm maybe that truly only works for custom segments. The field help suggests that. Still, maybe worth 15 mins of research if it can save you scripting

yea good point
