Limitations of Transaction Line Distribution

Consider the following limitations for using the Transaction Line Distribution.

• For tax distributions, the SuiteApp only considers the tax amount from the transaction line. Any tax applied to the transaction body is not considered for tax distribution.

• For CSV imports:

  • Field mappings must only be done to fields that appear in the UI, otherwise, the transactions entered will result to error.

  • If a distribution template existing in the CSV imports is not yet present in the account, the transactions entered will result to error.

• Only custom segments that have GL impact are considered for distribution.

• The distribution list will not be regenerated when the representing entities, account payable, and account receivable are updated. To have the changes reflected in the distribution list, you must create a new transaction.

• If there is an existing budget available for destination subsidiary, the intercompany journals created will not be considered in the consumed amount calculation.

• For journal creation, the SuiteApp supports up to 8,000 distribution lines per transaction.

• NetSuite only supports a maximum number of 10 script deployments per transaction. For transactions that have more than 10 script deployments, you must remove some from deployment.

• Inventory item lines are excluded from distribution because of intercompany accounting.

• For journal transactions, the following account types are only supported:

  • Expense

  • Other Income

• The Transaction Line Distribution SuiteApp is not compatible with the Revenue Recognition feature. TLD only works with Revenue Recognition feature as immediate and not with Deferred Revenue.

The Transaction Line Distribution SuiteApp supports all available languages in the Multi-Language feature of NetSuite. To set the language preference in NetSuite, see Choosing a Language for Your NetSuite User Interface.
