Recreate AP Aging in Netsuite Through SuiteAnalytics Connect: A Complete Guide

Introduction

As businesses grow, managing accounts payable (AP) becomes increasingly complex. Many users of Netsuite encounter challenges while trying to recreate AP aging reports through ODBC (Open Database Connectivity). This guide will walk you through an effective solution that addresses the key issues faced, particularly relating to journal entries (JEs) and the elusive remainingamount field.

The Problem

In Netsuite's saved searches, users often rely on a specific field called remainingamount to track outstanding amounts. However, when connecting through ODBC, this field appears to be missing from the connection schema. The following issues arise for users trying to recreate AP aging:

The remainingamount field is unavailable in the ODBC connection schema.

Users have experienced inconsistent null values in the foreignamountunpaid and foreignamountunused fields when querying journal entries.

The lack of timely support from Netsuite can leave users feeling stuck and frustrated.

Understanding the Components

Before diving into the solution, let's clarify some key terms:

ODBC: A standard API for accessing database management systems.

Journal Entries (JEs): Records of financial transactions that impact both debit and credit accounts.

Foreign Amount Fields: Include foreignamountunpaid and foreignamountunused, which represent amounts in foreign currency.

The Solution

After exploring various alternatives and seeking support, a practical SQL query was discovered. This query effectively addresses the issues of empty values in journal entries and provides a way to gather the desired data.

The SQL Code

To retrieve the appropriate amount for AP Aging, use the following SQL statement:

[[See Video to Reveal this Text or Code Snippet]]

Explanation of the SQL Code:

nvl() Function: This function is used in SQL to handle null values. It substitutes the null values with an alternative value provided in the second argument.

How it Works:

The first nvl() checks if transactionline.foreignamountunpaid is null. If it's not null, it returns that value. If it is null, it moves to the second nvl().

The second nvl() checks for -transactionline.foreignpaymentamountunused. If this field also returns null, the code will pull the value from -transactionline.foreignamount.

Implementing the Solution

Create or Modify Your SQL Query: Insert the provided SQL line into your existing query for AP aging, ensuring it is linked to the correct table.

Run Your Query: Execute the modified SQL command in your Netsuite environment through SuiteAnalytics Connect.

Verify Results: Check the output to ensure that you are receiving the expected values for each transaction, particularly for journal entries.

Conclusion

Creating an AP aging report in Netsuite through SuiteAnalytics Connect does not have to be a daunting task. By utilizing the SQL code provided above, users can effectively retrieve the needed amounts and mitigate the issues surrounding null values in journal entries.

Take the next step in your financial reporting endeavors by implementing this solution, and enjoy a smoother experience with your Netsuite account management!
