New to NetSuite | Understanding Advance to Apply field in Expense Report
Properly managing employee advances is vital for business expense control, accounting accuracy, and compliance. Oracle NetSuite streamlines this process with the Advance to Apply field in its Expense Report feature, enabling organizations to offset cash advances given to employees against their actual reimbursable expenses. Here’s how it works—and why it matters.
The Advance to Apply field is a dedicated section within NetSuite’s Expense Report form, designed for occasions when employees receive funds before incurring business-related expenses. When employees submit their subsequent expense reports, the advance amount can be entered in this field, ensuring that only the net outstanding expense (total expenses minus advances used) is paid out.
