With the new year beginning and accounting teams working busily to close the prior year financials one of the biggest errors we see is offsetting journal entries stuck on your A/P Aging report. If you are posting offsetting journals that post to your Accounts Payable transaction without first adding an “A/P Clearing Vendor” you might be asking how to clean up your reporting. Below we will walk you step by step on how to clear up your A/P Aging and remove these transactions entirely. 

 

Steps to Create a Vendor to Utilize for A/P Clearing:

  1. Navigate to List > Relationships > Vendors > New 

  2. Set the following fields: 
      • Company Name – choose sometime clear like “A/P Clearing Vendor” to identify that it is only used for internal purposes. 
      • Subsidiary 
      • Primary Currency if you manage a multi-currency NetSuite instance. 

  3. Click Save
     

Steps to Create a Bill Payment to Apply Journal Entries Against Each Other:

  1. Using an Administrator role, navigate to Transactions > Payables > Pay Single Vendor 

  2. On the Bill Payment page, set the following fields: 
      • A/P Account 
      • Account
      • Payee
      • Date 
      • Posting Period 

  3. Click Apply tab then mark the 2 Journal Entries 

  4. Click Save 

Now your A/P Aging report is clear of offsetting transactions and you can focus on open payables.
