The ‘Read’ permission for the specific transaction type (Invoice) is the correct granular permission. Combining it with a Department restriction in the role definition is a core, secure NetSuite feature that limits data visibility based on the user’s assigned department, perfectly meeting the requirement without custom development.

If journal entries are posted to a period that has already been locked (closed), they will not affect the financial reports for that period. This is a common issue during close procedures that directly causes a mismatch between the detailed trial balance and the summary balance sheet for the closed period.

NetSuite distinguishes between item-based procurement (using the Items tab) and expense-based procurement (using the Expenses tab). A Vendor Bill will only populate the Items tab if the source Purchase Order used item records; otherwise, it mirrors the expense account distributions from the PO’s Expenses tab.

The standard ‘Create Invoices’ workflow in NetSuite for time-and-materials billing is to go to the project record and run the ‘Create Invoices’ action. This process aggregates all billable time, expenses, and any related items attached to the project, ensuring accurate and complete invoicing.

When selecting bills in the ‘Pay Bills’ or ‘Vendor Payment’ page, NetSuite automatically calculates available discounts based on the bill’s terms and the payment date. The user simply needs to check the ‘Take Discount’ box for the eligible bill, and the system applies the correct amount.

The correct, audit-safe method is to use the ‘Undo’ application feature on the original transaction (the $200 invoice). This releases the payment back to an unapplied status. You can then apply the now-unapplied $1,000 payment to the correct $1,000 invoice.

A Transaction Saved Search allows you to add criteria from multiple date fields on the same record. You would set criteria where the ‘Posting Period’ is January (for revenue recognition) AND the ‘Date’ field (or a custom contract signed date) is in the previous quarter. This directly answers the multi-date-period question.

The ‘Make Journal Entries’ permission has three levels: None, Create, and Full. ‘Create’ allows a user to draft journal entries but not post them. ‘Full’ is required to both create and post. This is a classic configuration issue for accounting roles with segregated duties.

The ‘Add Adjustment’ button within the Bank Reconciliation module is specifically designed for this purpose. It creates a journal entry (debiting an expense and crediting the bank account) that is automatically tied to the reconciliation, ensuring the books match the statement efficiently and transparently.
