NSC | Clearing an Open Journal Entry from the Vendor Payment Apply Subtab

Scenario

A user noticed that an old Journal Entry created since the initial NetSuite implementation still appeared as an open transaction under the Apply subtab when processing Vendor Payments.

Although the Vendor balance was already zero, the Journal Entry continued to appear as an available transaction and reduced the payable amount incorrectly during payment processing. The Journal Entry included the Vendor name on the debit side of the Accounts Payable entry.

The user wanted to determine how to remove the Journal Entry from the Vendor Payment Apply subtab without affecting the Vendor balance.

Solution

A Journal Entry appears under the Apply subtab of Vendor Payments when the Journal Entry line contains a Vendor name associated with an Accounts Payable account.
