Is there any way to create a voiding journal via SuiteScript and set the date? In the UI when you create a voiding journal you have a chance to change the date before it is saved, but not via`transaction.void` API. The issue is I want the voiding journal to be created in the previous period. NetSuite won't allow changing the GL impact of a voiding journal after it has already been saved.

@michoel: we do this on bills when funds are returned, as part of the void submission we collect the ‘funds returned date’, to set on the voiding JE. Solution we used: • Create a Transaction Date field on the Transaction types to be voided:

JE Reversal Date

• Use a beforeSubmit UE on the Voiding Journal to source the date from the

JE Reversal Date

field via

createdfrom

◦ (Fun fact: The field to determine if you’re on a voiding JE is

voiding

and you have to evaluate as

'T'

because that field doesn’t return a boolean) • With this UE in place on the JE, you can set the

JE REVERSAL DATE

and then use

transaction.void()

at any time, and it works as expected.

@Sean Hayes thanks that's quite a creative workaround and really helpful. Did you consider just using a standard journal instead?

We use JE’s for bill voids by default, so only needed when we have a transaction where the void is entered for a date other than today.
