How does overwriting a journal entry in NetSuite work? I have JE00099 and basically I want to overwrite the lines with completely new lines. How does that work?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite, you cannot directly edit or overwrite the lines of a Journal Entry (JE). However, you can use the sublist override option to replace the existing lines with new ones. This method doesn't technically edit the fields you want to change, but rather it removes the existing lines and inserts the new lines from your import spreadsheet. Here's how it works: 1. Prepare your import spreadsheet with all the new lines you want to add to the JE. Make sure to include all the values that you don't want to change, such as Memo, Class, Location, etc. If these values are not included in the spreadsheet, they will be lost in the process. 2. Use the sublist override option to import the new lines. This will remove the existing lines and add the new ones from your spreadsheet. Please note that this method essentially creates a new JE, so you need to be careful to include all the necessary information in your import spreadsheet to avoid losing any data. Also, it's important to note that reversing entries cannot be changed programmatically. If you need to make non G/L related changes to the lines of a reversing JE, you would have to manually create a reversal journal that mirrors the original and use a custom field to link them together. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
