I was hoping someone could help me understand something in NetSuite. We have a script that uploads payments to NetSuite using SOAP Web Services and there is a field,

account

, that is automatically set in NetSuite when we upload a payment. The data we're passing in does not provide this

account

field, but the System Notes for the payment shows that SOAP Web Services set the value for that field. I'm guessing that there is a "default" value somewhere that is used to populate this field when not provided, but I have no clue where in NetSuite to find that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Take a look at your Accounting Preferences. Setup-> Accounting-> Accounting Preferences. Under Items/Transactions see what you have set up for your default accounts

Interesting. I don't see that we have a Default Payment Account or Default Vendor Payment Account. Any idea where else that

account

field would be getting a default value from?

SA 37760 might help you

Is that a Help Center article?

Yes, in SuiteAnswers. It goes over the Default Payment Account Hierarchy so you know where else to check

okay thanks!

usually its the payment method
