I tested it and it seems like the only workaround would be providing Period Override, but I think we arejust unclear as to why it would block it. It doesn't appear to be touching AP

are you trying to back date the receipt?  If you post it to the current period you should not have an issue.

yes we are trying to back date to May 2021 and currently only AP is locked for May 2021

Seems like a defect to talk to NetSuite about - either they'll explain why it's expected functionality, or take it on as a u6 defect.

(if I'm guessing correctly there - the fact that you *have* a workaround tends to make things take a lower defect urgency)

Only thing I can think of as to why they might block it is that a return authorization is a pre-lude to a customer refund, which *might be an indirectly payables concept since it requires cutting a check.

but even then - that seems like a really big stretch for me.

Netsuite considers the Item Receipt an AP transaction.  Regardless of the GL impact

I was looking into that but didn't check the receipt
