What is the correct or best practice way of migrating prepayment transactions?

edited Jun 2, 2025 2:33PM in Ask A Guru 5 comments

Hi There

I have open vendor prepayments that I was needing to migrate to Netsuite.

These are payments made in the legacy system that have yet to be applied to vendor bills.


What would be the correct method to migrate these to Netsuite?

Creating a vendor prepayment record in Netsuite necessarily requires a bank account to be entered on the vendor prepayment record.

i.e. the GL impact of the prepayment will be:

Dr Advance paid (Current Asset)

Cr Bank

However, I am thinking this will result in the bank account being "credited" twice effectively:

Once when the prepayment transaction is created and once when the bank opening GL entry is migrated to Netsuite.

Howdy, Stranger!
