Error message

Could not create G/L account due to required fields in NetSuite. Please make them optional in NetSuite or select expense and bank accounts via the configuration wizard.

Affected ERP integrations

  • Oracle NetSuite

Cause

This error occurs when Payhawk attempted to automatically create a new General Ledger (G/L) account in Oracle NetSuite but failed because the ERP has required fields (such as Subsidiaries) that Payhawk cannot populate automatically during the connection between the two systems.

Solution

To resolve this issue, use either of the following approaches.

Manually create the account in Oracle NetSuite and update the wizard

  1. Log in to Oracle NetSuite.

  2. Navigate to Lists > Accounting > Accounts.

  3. Manually create the required G/L account, filling in all required fields (including Subsidiaries).

  4. Save the account.

  5. In Payhawk, navigate to Settings > Integrations > NetSuite and select the Edit configuration option from the three-dot menu.

  6. In the integration wizard, select the correct expense and bank accounts you just created.

  7. Save the configuration and retry the export.
