specific subsidiary using the subsidiary filter will also filter out source accounts that users want to use for bill payments in the confirm payment window during the final step of making a payment "there seems to be a communication error with the bank api " this error can be seen on various pages in the bank bundle, such as the pay vendor bills page this error is likely caused by multiple

must appear on both the bill and the vendor if you have updated the address on the vendor already, netsuite does not automatically update the address on any open bills for that same vendor you must go into the open bill(s) and update the address go to the bill record click the billing subtab select the vendor address in the vendor select dropdown field click edit click save "payment request rejected because it failed uniqueness check we suspect this is a duplicate payment " you're seeing this error because you're attempting to process a payment for a bill that has already been paid using the plugin essentially, there is already a payment recorded against that bill's netsuite internal bill id the system is preventing a duplicate payment if you need to void the existing payment and then resubmit it, you must follow a specific process through the bank plugin please refer to the voiding and repaying bills page within the netsuite > vendor payables section of this support site for detailed instructions on how to properly void and repay the bill custom records are not enabled the bank payment plugin relies on custom records to function correctly we use a custom record to create and track the bill payment record for you if this feature isn't enabled, the plugin cannot create that necessary custom record this prevents us from correctly marking bills as paid, which ultimately stops you from using the plugin altogether enable this feature by following these steps hover over setup hover over company click enable features click the suitecloud tab go to the suitebuilder section check the custom records box "please enter value(s) for department, location " this is an error generated by netsuite when there is a mismatch between the mandatory fields required for a bill in comparison to a payment the error may appear if you try to pay a bill under a different subsidiary than your source (disbursement) account to resolve this, follow these steps go to transaction forms navigate to customization → forms → transaction forms click edit beside the bill form you typically use and that is marked as preferred locate department and location on the custom transaction form page for the selected bill form, click on the screen fields → main sub tabs find the department and location fields and make note of whether they have show and/or mandatory enabled if department and location cannot be found under the screen fields list, check the sublists sub tab match bill form and bill payment navigate back to the transaction forms page, and click edit beside the bill payment form you typically use and that is preferred on the custom transaction form page for the selected bill payment form, click on the screen fields → main sub tabs like with the bill form previously, find the department and location fields check if show and/or mandatory is enabled and whether they match the show and mandatory selections on the bill form make the appropriate changes on the show and mandatory fields on department and location on the bill payment form to match the same field selections for show and mandatory fields on department and location on the bill form at least one value must be present in checktemplatecodes for the source bank account when using checkprint or object attribute creditamount is not of correct type if you execute a checkprint request using an account that is not set up for making checkprint payments you will see this error options to deal with the issue if you would like to add check functionality to this account, reach out to your bank you can ask a customer support agent to check the sows/enrolment forms we got from the bank to make sure we didn’t make a mistake you can confirm which accounts are set up for checks with customer support and make payments with these accounts instea common questions this list provides answers to common questions that arise when using the vendor payable features in netsuite can i pay multiple invoices in one payment rather than making a payment for each invoice? yes, you can enable this feature by going into the vendor, selecting edit , and ticking the box for group bills for payment under the bank tab this feature will group all selected bills for a single vendor into one lump sum payment why does the payment status of a failed bill stay as processing? this processing status can take between 3 to 4 business days to clear, even if the bill payment has failed if the bill appears again on the open bills tab on the pay vendor bills page, you may safely retry this bill payment why is my bill still open in netsuite even though i processed the payment and received no error message? if your bill remains open after payment, check these potential causes the required bundles, either the entity bank details bundle (id 323878) or netsuite's electronic bank payments bundle, may not be installed verify their installation status your current role might lack the permissions needed for the bank plugin or associated scripts see the plugin access management and netsuite role permission steps in the netsuite > plugin setup > installation section of our website you may be attempting to pay a bill that is locked because the relevant accounting period has already been closed to find out if the bill/account is locked open the bill in question click the open bills tab the bill will have a lock symbol on the top left corner if the bill is locked, if the relevant accounting period is closed, you should reopen the accounting period by following these steps go to setup > accounting > manage accounting periods click edit on the accounting period and enable the allow non gl changes option your ap team might have some internal controls over the above accounting period steps please refer to the failed bills page on the netsuite > troubleshooting section of this support site for more details how do i store my vendor payment information? download our free netsuite bundle, entity bank details (id 323878) if you cannot find it on the search & install bundles page, please reach out to our support team as you may need to be whitelisted why doesn't my account appear in the source account drop down menu on the pay vendor bills page? applying this subsidiary filter on the pay vendor bills page impacts what source accounts are available, as the source accounts must be tied to the selected subsidiary if no source accounts are linked to this subsidiary, no source account will be displayed "is there an approval step after confirming payments in netsuite?" yes, payments must be approved/released in the bank portal after being sent through the plugin "do i need to transmit a positive pay file for bills paid using checkprint?" no, bills paid using checkprint are automatically sent with positive pay confirmation "when will my checks be mailed? " if your files are released by 8pm est, the checks will be mailed on the next business day
