Vendor Prepayment (with TDS) cannot be fully applied against a Vendor Bill
unresolved NetSuite issues currently faced across the Group NetSuite OneWorld environment (India Localization / legacy tax). India localization SuiteTax bundle is already implemented.
Summary
When a Vendor Prepayment (VPP) on which TDS was deducted at the advance stage is applied against a Vendor Bill, NetSuite applies only the Basic + GST portion of the prepayment. The TDS leg already deducted at the advance stage is not reversed in the Vendor Prepayment Application, so the full prepayment value (Basic + GST + TDS) cannot be applied and a TDS balance remains stranded on the vendor account.
Consequence: the advance is never fully knocked off, the vendor sub-ledger does not tie to the trade payable, and TDS on the advance is effectively double-counted against TDS on the bill — a reconciliation and compliance exposure. The issue is consistent, reproduces in Production and Sandbox. no workaround exists.
