Can I override the requirement for a sales order to have a deposit?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it appears that the requirement for a sales order to have a deposit cannot be overridden directly within NetSuite. However, there are workarounds that can be used to achieve similar results. One method is to create a sales order and apply the deposit to it. Once the deposit is cleared, a new sales order can be created and a new deposit can be applied to it. This method is mentioned in the first conversation. Another method is to use the Accounting Preferences settings in NetSuite. By checking the option in Accounting Preferences, you can create an invoice before the fulfillment of a sales order. This is mentioned in the second conversation. A third method, as mentioned in the third conversation, involves creating a custom record to hold the deposit amount. This method is more complex and involves creating a sales order for the deposit (tagged as "Contractual Budget/CB"), creating a custom record to hold the deposit amount, and using a scripted solution to manage the process. When a new order comes in, funds are drawn from the custom record. This method was used by a previous company and was refactored to use customer deposits and proforma invoices. Please note that these methods are based on the experiences of the users in the conversations and may not be the best or only solutions for your specific situation. Always consider your own business processes and requirements when deciding on a solution. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
