I'm facing an issue with multibook in NetSuite. I have an item where I've set an amortization schedule (CCA generic) for the primary book, and I've enabled the option to have the same schedule for the secondary book. However, when I manually remove the amortization schedule from the transaction, after saving, the primary book no longer has an amortization schedule (as expected), but the secondary book still does. I assumed that manually removing the schedule would stop it from applying to both books. Any idea why this might be happening, or how to fix this?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
Based on the conversations, it seems that the issue you're facing with the amortization schedule in the secondary book not being removed when you manually remove the schedule from the transaction in NetSuite is due to the way the system handles amortization schedules for secondary books. In a multi-book environment, the 'Update Amortization' button is available only when you view the saved transaction record. This button allows you to change the amortization schedule, its start and end dates, and check or clear the 'Residual' box for secondary accounting books. However, this is the only way to modify the schedules in secondary books. When you manually remove the amortization schedule from the transaction, it only affects the primary book. The secondary book still retains the schedule because the system does not automatically update the secondary book when changes are made to the primary book. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a straightforward solution to this issue. One workaround suggested in the conversations is to generate book-specific Journal Entries (JEs) based on the amortization template and dates filled in on the bill for secondary books, and then link the JEs back to the original Bill. This way, you can manually control the amortization schedules for both books. Another suggestion is to update the amortization dates on the journal, not on the amortization schedule. If the dates on the journal are correct but the amortization schedule still shows incorrect dates, you might need to remove the schedule, save the changes, and then add it back. Please note that these are workarounds and might not be the ideal solution for your specific situation. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
