I am trying to set payment method on Customer Payment while creating /updating it via Netsuite REST web services APIs, I am using paymentMethod field , I have tried paymentOption, none of them works.

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it seems that the field you should be using is

paymentMethod

and not

paymentOption

. However, there are some conditions to consider: 1. If you have the Payment Instrument feature enabled in your NetSuite account, you should use

paymentOption

instead of

paymentMethod

. 2. The error message you're receiving suggests that you might not have the necessary permissions to set the

paymentMethod

field. This could be due to the field being read-only, an associated feature being disabled, or the field being available only when a record is created or updated, but not in both cases. 3. If you're able to set the payment method in the UI without any issues, then you should be able to do the same via the API. If you're seeing a

paymentMethod

field in the UI but receiving an error when trying to set it via the API, there might be some inconsistencies in your account. 4. If you're receiving a "Decline" error, it might be related to credit card information. This usually means that some credit card information is invalid. It's recommended to check with the payment processor to see what's wrong. Here's a sample of how you might set the

paymentMethod

field when creating a salesOrder via REST:

json
"paymentMethod": {
    "id": 7
}

And here's how you might set the

paymentOption

field:

json
"paymentOption": {
    "id": "1"
}
