Japan Localization SuiteApp Limitations and Best Practices

This section discusses the limitations of the SuiteApp, and best practices for using features.

Compatibility with SuiteTax Feature

The Japan Localization SuiteApp doesn't support the SuiteTax feature yet, and limitations will be encountered in these cases:

• If you enabled SuiteTax first, you won't be able to install the Japan Localization SuiteApp.

• If you installed the Japan Localization SuiteApp first, and then enabled SuiteTax, the Invoice Summary Generation page will display an error and you won't be able to generate invoice summaries. Also, you won't be able to generate the Purchase Tax by Tax Category Report and the Deductible Tax & Taxable Sales Ratio Calculation Form.

Limitation with AutoCash and Installment Payments

The AutoCash and Installment Payments features aren't supported by the Japan Localization SuiteApp. Transactions created using the AutoCash and Installment Payments features won't be included in the invoice summary search and generated report.

Invoice Summary Generation

• Memorized transactions aren't yet supported in invoice summary generation. For more information, see Memorized Transactions.

• Invoice summary generation is processed by a scheduled script. When you click Generate, a generation request will be queued for processing. The script will process the new request as soon as the queue becomes available.

  Processing time depends on the volume of transactions included within the selected period. For example, the estimated processing time is about one hour in these cases:

  • The invoice summary contains 5,000 transactions

  • Each transaction has only one transaction line

  To prevent slow processing time, you should reduce the volume of transactions included in an invoice summary by selecting a customer in the customer search filter. If you don't specify a customer on the Generate Invoice Summary page, the search result will include all customers associated with the subsidiary or company.

• The values in the Generate Invoice Summary page are displayed in the currency of the selected subsidiary.

• If the invoice summary is generated using the default multicurrency template provided by NetSuite, the values in its PDF file are shown in the currency of the selected subsidiary. However, the formatting is dependent on the setup of the account’s parent company. These are factors that affect formatting:

  • Base country

  • NetSuite edition

  • Currency

  • Number format

• To generate an invoice summary for transactions in a closed accounting period, you must first enable Allow Non G/L Changes for that period.

Invoice Summary Regeneration

You can't use the regenerate feature for invoice summaries created by previous versions of the Japan Localization SuiteApp earlier than Bundle ID 15580.

Accepting Payments for Invoice Summaries

On the Customer Payment page, when you select a customer in the Customer field, the system displays a warning that you're about to leave the page and that the transaction hasn't been saved. This is normal behavior. Click Leave this Page to continue working on the transaction.

If the number of transactions lines on the Customer Payment page exceeds 10,000, you may receive a session timeout error. To prevent timeout errors for customers with a high volume of transactions in the period, you should apply the payment in batches, or use the filters to narrow the search result.

Invoice summaries with open invoices are available for selection when applying a customer payment on the Customer Payment page. Available invoice summaries for selection include those that were created prior to version 2.00.0 of the Japan Localization SuiteApp.

Custom Fields

Custom fields included in the Japan Localization SuiteApp are shown on forms if the subsidiary or company is Japanese. These custom fields can't be hidden on custom forms because the visibility of the fields is dependent on the country of the subsidiary or company.
