amount vs applied amount

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite, the 'Amount' and 'Applied Amount' are different fields and they serve different purposes. The 'Amount' field typically represents the total value of a transaction. For example, in a Vendor Bill, the 'Amount' would be the total cost of the items or services purchased. Similarly, in a Credit Memo, the 'Amount' would be the total value of the credit given. On the other hand, the 'Applied Amount' field is used to track how much of a transaction has been applied or used. For example, in a Credit Memo, the 'Applied Amount' would represent how much of the credit has been used or applied towards invoices. If a Credit Memo has an 'Amount' of $100, and $20 has been used to pay off an invoice, the 'Applied Amount' would be $20. In the context of a saved search, if you want to return the amounts credited to an invoice, you would need to use the 'Applying Transaction' field with a filter for 'Type is Credit Memo' and 'Applying Link Amount > 0'. This will return the applied amount for each invoice, rather than the total amount of the Credit Memo. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
