Need to include unapplied payments and customer deposits in AR aging report

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite, customer deposits and unapplied payments do not inherently appear in the AR Aging report. This is because these transactions are considered as payments and not as receivables. They are applied to invoices and reduce the outstanding amount, but they do not show up in the aging report. However, there are a few workarounds to include these transactions in the AR Aging report: 1. Custom Fields: You can create custom fields for showing total deposits outstanding to show on the statement. This would require some customization and might not be the most straightforward solution. 2. Unapplied Payments: Another workaround could be to enter deposits as unapplied payments. The downside of this approach is that these payments wouldn't auto-apply to invoices without scripting. 3. Change GL Coding: Changing the GL coding of the deposits to make them hit the AR aging report is another option. However, this might not work as expected and could lead to other complications. 4. Custom Scripting: You could potentially create a script to auto-apply credit memos in a similar manner to the deposits. This would require some advanced scripting knowledge and might not be the most efficient solution. Please note that these are workarounds and might not be the best practice. It's always recommended to understand the implications of these changes before implementing them. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
