A user can’t create an invoice from a Sales Order with an active billing schedule because the next billing date falls in a closed accounting period. The system doesn’t allow posting in a different period than the transaction date. What is the recommended approach in this scenario?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In this scenario, the recommended approach would be to adjust the billing schedule so that the next billing date falls within an open accounting period. This can be done by modifying the billing schedule associated with the Sales Order. If the billing schedule cannot be modified, another approach would be to temporarily change the transaction date to an open period, create the invoice, and then change the transaction date back to the original date. However, this approach should be used with caution as it may have other implications on your accounting records. Another possible solution is to use a workflow to automate this process. For example, you could create a workflow that checks if the next billing date falls within a closed period. If it does, the workflow could automatically adjust the billing date to the next open period. This would ensure that invoices can always be created from Sales Orders, regardless of the billing schedule. Please note that these solutions may not be suitable for all businesses and it's recommended to consult with your NetSuite administrator or a NetSuite professional to ensure these changes align with your business processes and accounting practices. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
