Vendor Prepayment Application

After you make a prepayment to a vendor, you must apply the prepayment against the vendor bills. A vendor prepayment application is a posting transaction that impacts the general ledger. The Prepayment account is credited, offsetting the Accounts Payable account. The application decreases the total amount you must pay to your vendor.

You can apply the prepayment manually, or configure NetSuite to apply the prepayment automatically using the Auto-Apply accounting preference.

Code Samples

The following example shows how to transform a vendor prepayment transaction into the vendor prepayment application. The transformation process applies the vendor prepayment. This transformation is required because a vendor prepayment application requires a vendor prepayment.

• SuiteScript 2.x

  This example shows an application of the vendor prepayment with ID 718. During the application, the first vendor bill is selected for application.

                require(['N/record'], function(record) {
  
      function transformVendorPrepayment() {
  
          var vendorPrepaymentApplication = record.transform({
  
             fromType: 'vendorprepayment',
  
             fromId: 718,
  
             toType: 'vendorprepaymentapplication',
  
             isDynamic: true,
  
             });
  
  
  
             vendorPrepaymentApplication.selectLine({
  
                 sublistId: 'bill',
  
                 line: 0
  
             });
  
  
  
             vendorPrepaymentApplication.setCurrentSublistValue({
  
                 sublistId: 'bill',
  
                 fieldId: 'apply',
  
                 value: true
  
             });
  
  
  
             vendorPrepaymentApplication.commitLine({
  
                 sublistId: 'bill'
  
             });
  
  
  
             var vendorPrepaymentApplicationId = vendorPrepaymentApplication.save();
  
      }
  
  
  
      transformVendorPrepayment();
  
  
  
  });
