1. The create amortization journal entries look like We have to create by month. Is there a way to create multiple months at once? 2. The descriptions in the amortization journal entries are automatically set to “Amortization Source” and “Amortization Destination”. Can we change this to something else and/or have it automatically pull from the bill description? 3. When we go to create amortization JEs for a month. Let’s say we created all the JEs for November already. Then we posted more invoices that need to be amortized in November. When we go to create more JEs, will only the new invoices show?

2. We had a customisation from Netsuite ACS that does this, so it's definitely possible. It runs as a scheduled script updating the records in question 3. Yes that's right. Netsuite knows which ones it has done and which are still to do

Thank you
2. I got this reply from NetSuite "No, this is under enhancement number 524133 (Transactions > Financial > Create Amortization Journal Entries > Ability to Add the Source Transaction on Memo Field of Amortization Journal Entry)"

yeah we engaged Netsuite Advanced Customer Support, who can do things like writing custom scripts (there are other 3rd party options out there too). Regular netsuite support don't do this. I think they've seen this request enough times it will be a future enhancement. Just depends if you want to wait. Just for clarity, we're picking up the source transaction memo on the line, not from the transaction header

Thanks, We got a quotation for ACS. Reddit has lot of negative reviews. How is your experience? Is it good?
j
they've been really good for us. We're based in Australia and they really seem to be putting forward their A-team on these things. The consultants are very ready to put their hands up and say they're not an expert in module x, and put you in touch with someone who's more familiar with it. You feel like you have access to a breadth of knowledge which is very different from our experience with a third party
that said, I've heard mixed things too so there are obviously some people unhappy with it
I think if you go in expecting them to suggest improvements then you are likely to be disappointed...they very much take their cue from you. At release time, they do reach out to tell you about new features that might be interesting but they don't seem to have much of a preview of the features, it seems they get the release notes the same time as we do

Thanks a lot for the review. It really helps.
If you don't mind did they used Map reduce script or User event script to change the “Amortization Source” and “Amortization Destination” on JE
