How can I tell when NetSuite's Backend is Still Updating?

edited Nov 26, 2019 8:42AM in Accounting / ERP 2 comments

I had a heart attack this afternoon when, after updating some inventory transactions from a year ago we ended up with a part number that had 0 quantity and a $5K balance. We tried everything we could think of to force NetSuite to update (editing various related transactions), but NetSuite didn't update. After several hours NetSuite sorted itself out and the erroneous $5K inventory balance magically disappeared.

How am I supposed to know when NetSuite is still updating the database backend, and when NetSuite thinks it is finished? Is there an administrator function where I can press a button and force NetSuite to immediately process all pending backend calculations and tell me when it is complete? I really don't want to go to press with my financials not knowing whether or not they are in flux.

Howdy, Stranger!
