We configured NetSuite to generate reports based on accounting periods instead of transaction dates. It works everywhere except for tax reports. Is that expected behavior?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations provided, it appears that the behavior you're experiencing is expected. NetSuite's tax reports are typically based on the transaction date, not the accounting period. This is because the tax period is sourced from the transaction date, and changing this could impact other reports such as aging reports. In the conversations, users have discussed potential workarounds, such as using a custom date field or changing the due date, but these solutions also have their own drawbacks. For example, changing the transaction date could affect aging reports, and using a custom date field might not reflect in the VAT reporting out of NetSuite. It's also worth noting that one user mentioned the possibility of changing the tax period via CSV or script, but this would likely require a good understanding of NetSuite's scripting and CSV import capabilities. In conclusion, while it may be technically possible to configure NetSuite to generate tax reports based on accounting periods, doing so could have unintended side effects on other reports and aspects of your NetSuite environment. Therefore, it's recommended to carefully consider these potential impacts before making any changes. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
