Why does NetSuite (randomly?) assign a check # when generating dummy payments in bulk?
Hi,
We've observed a strange pattern with bulk generation of bill payments, namely check number are (apparently randomly) assigned to some of the bills, contrary to expectations.
Reproduction Steps:
- Via Transactions >> Payables >> Pay Bills, an A/P analyst selects multiple bills for which to generate payments. The "To be printed" checkbox is NOT checked.
- When the bill payments are generated, some of them get assigned a check number as can be seen in the attached sample, leading to confusion as check numbers get assigned to dummy payments for which no check will be cut.
It is unclear why this happens and how to stop it from occurring. Any ideas?
Regards,
Chidi | NetSuite Insights
