Hi, is there still now way via CSV to apply a JE payment to customer's invoices? We would rather create one JE for multiple customer payments and then apply those payments against their open invoice. I know you can do this via a customer payment upload, but accounting would like to avoid creating hundreds of customer payment records.

> but accounting would like to avoid creating hundreds of customer payment records. I think accounting should suck it up and deal with payments because there are risks to applying JEs to invoices. Namely if you breathe on the JE, it will unapply itself from all those invoices and then you have to go fix it. Ask me how I know. 🙂 IMO applying JEs to stuff should be for one-off cleanup exercises that can't be done any other way, not something that's part of a regular business process.

As a fractional accounting team that supports businesses on NetSuite, this journal entry as a payment idea seems scary. If you start recording multiple customer payments via JE, I would think that would really mess up the bank reconciliation then. If your team is looking to automate this, I can't understand why importing hundreds of customer payments is a bad thing? If the concern is they then need to select a bunch of payments to record a bank deposit, then a script could be used for that piece.

Hey Chris thanks for the response. This was for some data migration and we are going to the the customer payment route.
