how to create vendor statement with opening balance and debit/credit transactions and closing balance

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, there isn't a native NetSuite feature to create a vendor statement similar to a customer statement. However, you can create a custom solution using SuiteScript or Saved Searches. Here's a general approach: 1. Create a Saved Search for Vendor Bills: This search should include all open vendor bills. You can customize the columns to include the information you want to display on the statement, such as transaction date, reference number, original amount, amount due, etc. 2. Create a Custom Statement Layout: You can use Advanced PDF/HTML Templates to create a custom layout for your vendor statement. This layout can include a summary of the opening balance, list of debit/credit transactions, and the closing balance. 3. Generate the Statement: You can use SuiteScript to generate the vendor statement. The script should retrieve the data from the saved search, calculate the opening and closing balances, and populate the custom statement layout with this data. 4. Email the Statement: The script can also automate the process of emailing the statement to the vendors. You can use the

N/email

module in SuiteScript to send the statement as a PDF attachment. Here's a simplified example of how the SuiteScript might look:

javascript
var searchResults = search.load({id: 'customsearch_vendor_bills'}).run().getRange({start: 0, end: 1000});

var openingBalance = 0;
var closingBalance = 0;

searchResults.forEach(function(result) {
    openingBalance += result.getValue({name: 'custrecord_opening_balance'});
    closingBalance += result.getValue({name: 'custrecord_closing_balance'});
});

var statementData = {
    openingBalance: openingBalance,
    transactions: searchResults,
    closingBalance: closingBalance
};

var statementPdf = render.statement({
    entity: vendor,
    printMode: render.PrintMode.PDF,
    inCustLocale: true,
    transactions: statementData.transactions,
    statementDate: new Date(),
    openTransactions: true,
    startDate: new Date('2022-01-01'),
    endDate: new Date('2022-12-31')
});

email.send({
    author: runtime.getCurrentUser().id,
    recipients: vendor.getValue({fieldId: 'email'}),
    subject: 'Vendor Statement',
    body: 'Please find attached your vendor statement.',
    attachments: [statementPdf]
});

Please note that this is a simplified example and may need to be adjusted to fit your specific requirements. Also, the

render.statement

method is not a standard NetSuite method and would need to be implemented separately. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
