NSC | Trouble Applying Journal Entry as Vendor Bill Payment

Scenario

A user attempted to apply a Journal Entry to multiple Vendor Bills through the Pay Bills screen in NetSuite. Although the Journal Entry and Vendor Bills appeared correctly and the setup worked in sandbox and through other payment methods, saving the transaction in production generated a separate Bill Payment instead of applying the Journal Entry to the bills. The user wanted to understand why the behavior differed across screens and environments.

Solution

When applying multiple transaction types or paying multiple transactions from the Pay Bills page, make sure the option Use Bill to Address from Vendor is marked before saving the payment transaction.
