Error message

Please update the A/P account on (vendor bill / vendor credit / expense report / journal entry) XXXX.

Affected ERP integrations

  • Oracle NetSuite

Cause

This error occurs when attempting to export a bulk payment where at least one expense linked to the payment has a different Accounts Payable (A/P) account in Oracle NetSuite compared to the others. All expenses in a bulk payment must use the same A/P account in Oracle NetSuite.

The A/P account is determined by the Payhawk integration wizard configuration or default Oracle NetSuite settings. The ID shown in the error message corresponds to the Oracle NetSuite entity (expense) ID.

Solution

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

Update the A/P account manually in Oracle NetSuite

  1. Log in to the ERP.

  2. Locate the vendor bill, vendor credit, expense report, or journal entry using the ID provided in the error message.

  3. Update the A/P account to match the A/P account used by the other expenses in the bulk payment.

  4. Save the changes.

  5. Return to Payhawk and retry the payment export.

Modify the Payhawk configuration and re-export

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

  2. Review and adjust the A/P account mapping in the integration wizard.

  3. Re-export the problematic expense to update its A/P account in Oracle NetSuite.

  4. Retry the payment export.

If multiple expenses in the bulk payment have different A/P accounts, this error may appear multiple times. Each expense will need to be corrected individually.
