New to NetSuite | Renamed Advances Paid Account and its Impact on Expense Report's Advance to Apply
Scenario:
A general ledger (GL) account (1300) currently named "Inventory" has an "Advance to Apply" association. System notes reveal that this account was originally named "Advances Paid" and was a system-generated account, but it was renamed to "Inventory" by another user in the company. Despite the name change, the system continues to treat transactions as advances to employees rather than as inventory.
As a result, when employees submit expense reports, the system reflects an amount in the "Advance to Apply" field, preventing further payments for those expense reports.
The customer would like to remove the amount in the "Advance to Apply" field to resolve the issue and proceed with payment.
