Handling Returned/NSF Checks

When a customer's check is returned to you from the bank for insufficient funds (NSF) and you have already deposited the amount in NetSuite, use a journal entry to correct account balances. See Correcting Account Balances for NSF Checks Using a Journal Entry.

Important:

The original invoice remains closed and the balance due shows as a new receivable and is not aged based on the original receivable.

If you want to charge the customer a fee for the returned check, see Returned Check/NSF Fees.
