Sales and Cost Mismatch (Shipped not Invoiced)
As a long time user on Netsuite (>8 years) and an accountant, one of the things that bugs me is the potential period mismatch between the Sales Invoice and the Fulfillment from a Sales Order. This means we can have the sales revenue in one period and the cost from the fulfillment in a different period. The periodic P&L therefore shows incorrect gross profit for both periods and potentially over to financial years.
Is there a way to ensure the period of the COGS entry matches the period of the sales entry given the fact the the is fulfillment is still posted in the correct period but the profit affect only hits once the invoice is saved? Other systems do this, so what can we do in Netsuite?
