record.create

method is indeed not supported for the Customer Payment record in SuiteScript. However, there are alternative ways to handle this situation: 1. Transforming an Invoice to a Customer Payment: You can use the

record.transform

method to transform an Invoice record into a Customer Payment record. This is a straightforward approach and mimics the 'Accept Payment' button in the NetSuite UI. Here is a sample code snippet:

javascript
var customerPayment = record.transform({
    fromType: record.Type.INVOICE,
    fromId: invoiceId,
    toType: record.Type.CUSTOMER_PAYMENT,
    isDynamic: true,
});

2. Handling Bank Charges: If you're trying to record fees in the Customer Payments, you could assign the payment to the invoice, then journal the difference to a P/L bank charges account. Alternatively, you could create a service item 'Bank charges' and post the sales to bank charges. Raise a credit memo using this item with the value of the bank charges. This will then credit the A/R account with the value of the bank charges and debit P/L. The payment and the credit note could then be applied to the invoice to clear it completely. Remember to always test your scripts in a sandbox environment before deploying them to production.
