How can a vendor prepayment be refunded?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To refund a vendor prepayment in NetSuite, you can follow these steps: 1. Create a non-inventory/other charge item called vendor prepayment and have it post to a prepaid purchases account. 2. Add a line to the purchase order for the amount of the overpayment using this item. 3. Directly below, add another line with the same item but with a negative amount and a memo of “prepayment reversal”. 4. Bill and pay the first line. Then when the whole PO is received, bill the actual item lines along with the negative amount to pay the balance less prepayment. This process essentially creates a credit balance for the vendor which can then be applied to future bills or refunded. Please note that this is a workaround and may not be the best solution for all businesses. It's always recommended to consult with your accounting team or a NetSuite professional to ensure this method aligns with your company's accounting practices. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
