NSC | How to Copy Line Memo to Header Memo on Journal Entries

edited Aug 5, 2025 9:54PM in SuiteCloud / Customization

When Journal Entries (JEs) are automatically created by an integrated purchasing system, the line-level memos are populated, but the header memo field remains blank. Since NetSuite’s Bank Data Matching tool displays only the header memo, this creates visibility issues for reconciliation.

Solution:

NetSuite doesn’t provide a native way to roll up line memos into the header memo field, but you can implement a workaround using:

  1. A custom non-stored field on the Journal Entry header
  2. A Saved Search to extract and concatenate line memos
  3. A Scheduled Workflow to copy that value into the standard header Memo field

Step 1: Create a Custom Transaction Body Field
