Do the amounts returned by

getPostingTransactionSummary

reflect all data in real-time? Or is there a potential delay in the data included in the amounts?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

The

getPostingTransactionSummary

function in NetSuite is designed to return a summary of posting transactions. However, it's important to note that the data returned by this function may not always reflect real-time data. There could be a potential delay in the data included in the amounts due to various factors such as system processing time, data synchronization, and the timing of when the transactions are posted. In the context of NetSuite, the 'Amount' typically refers to the transaction amount that is being posted to a particular account, while the 'Balance' is the running balance of the account. If there is a discrepancy between these two values, it could be due to transactions that have not yet been posted or reflected in the running balance. If you notice discrepancies or delays in the data, it's recommended to validate the running balance. You can do this by opening the Register by clicking on the GL number from a transaction, or drill down to view from the beginning of time for the company. In the case of a grouped Transaction Saved Search showing different sums, it could be due to multiple applying transactions (like two invoices) that lead to double counting. To troubleshoot this, you could filter it to a small date period, remove all groupings, and see if there are some things that are showing up that don't show up when you drill down. Remember, the posting period is the key determinant for trial balance and related reporting. If a transaction date falls outside the posting period, it could cause discrepancies in your reports. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
