NetSuite payments on a subcustomer's invoice

What Kolleno does when NetSuite refuses a payment on a subcustomer.

Some NetSuite accounts accept a customer payment only on the top-level customer. For example, the preference Apply Payments Through Top-Level Customer Only has this effect. NetSuite then refuses a payment on a subcustomer with this error:

You have entered an Invalid Field Value 1234 for the following field: customer

When you reconcile a match, Kolleno handles this error for you. Kolleno posts the payment again on the top-level customer, and the payment applies the same invoices. This does not create a second payment, and you do not need to change a setting.

If one bank line pays the invoices of two subcustomers, you see two payments on the top-level customer.

If the payment still does not post

The match shows an error in Reconciliation History. Fix the cause in NetSuite, then retry the synchronization. You can also retry a match that failed with this error in the past.

If you cannot find the cause, contact Support with the Match ID shown in Matched transaction details.
