Here's a step-by-step process: 1. Create a journal entry to debit the account where the payment was mistakenly posted and credit the correct account. This will correct the account error. 2. For the subsidiary error, you will need to create an intercompany journal entry. Debit the intercompany payable account of the subsidiary that mistakenly received the payment and credit the intercompany receivable account of the correct subsidiary. This will move the liability from the wrong subsidiary to the correct one. 3. Ensure that the Vendor Prepayment is linked to the correct Bill. If it's not, you may need to unlink the prepayment from the wrong Bill and link it to the correct one. Remember, this process might need to be adjusted based on your company's specific intercompany and accounting policies. Always consult with your finance team or a NetSuite professional to ensure you're following the correct procedures for your organization. Also, consider automating this process to avoid such errors in the future. There are several tools available that can help with this, such as SuiteSolution Vendor Prepayment, which allows for creating a payment against the PO without receiving/billing against the PO. When the real bill comes, the payment can be applied against the bill automatically.
