How do I manually change the "Balance" shown on Chart of Accounts? - netsuite

I am trying to reset the balance to all accounts in Charts of Accounts to $0. I can go in and manually delete every item and edit opening balances but I couldn't find a way to do it quickly either through scripting or CSV import. Any help would be appreciated
I have tried searching through transactions and editing transactions to delete items purchased but that would take hundreds of hours to go through each transaction to make all my accounts have a balance of $0. I tried CSV imports to update information but I am unable to touch the "Balance" from a CSV upload. If there is a way to add balance to the account form I could probably do it from there but I'm not sure how.

Not sure why you want to do that I supposed you want to re-setup the system without deleting the history transactions ?
I think you can post a journal to reverse the balance for each account that you pull from trial balance report as at the last day before the period you want to restart.
E.g. if AP account has a credit balance of 100k. Your journal line will be Ap account debit 100K etc..
You may also want to consult NetSuite account manager. NETSUITE may be able to help to do mass data deletion without changing the setup.

Is there a way to use an IF statement to track if another user changed the data in a table and time stamp it?

I have an access database in which multiple customers will be placing large orders on a weekly basis. I have a query automatically set up in excel to refresh the information every minute. A potential issue I could see happening: Manager places order in our access form, decides to edit his record later w/o contacting the scheduler, and changes the order information he originally entered. I would like to track what it was changed from and to, as well as the date they changed it. These orders have to be placed by a certain time in the week for them to make the shipment in or out the following Monday. If orders are changed, I want to know. If orders are changed after the deadline, I especially want to know. Thanks
Create a before update event that inserts the changes into an audit log table. Here is the resource I used for my databases: https://www.techrepublic.com/article/a-simple-solution-for-tracking-changes-to-access-data/
Note: This will only track changes made to existing records through the form. It also will not track deletions or changes made directly in the table.

Does Acumatica have an object to calculate GL Account Summary information?

We are trying to write customization to generate a download GL account summary information from Acumatica to text file. Need to be able to calculate period summary information (beginning balance, net change, and ending balance for each account using code. I'm assuming that Acumatica has an object to calculate those values for a specific Financial Period ID...but I dont know what it is. Can anyone help?
The information you're looking for is already stored in the GLHistory table. The data is aggregated by ledger, branch, financial period, account and subaccount. This information is updated by accumulator attributes that are used during the GL release process.

Netsuite Invoice / GL entry

I have a unique situation where we need to assign different GL Account when we create an invoice. For now, the first part is done. I created 2 custom fields:
COGS and Income. The user can pick it from the list, save it, etc. Users are fine with it.
However the GL transaction is still with the original Account. I want to write to the GL using the accounts entered on the invoice.
Anyone can help?
If you have a developer or you know SuiteScript, you can use Custom GL Plugin for this.

Data import from new reports and automatically update existing records in existing data

I seek expert advice of all of you in accomplishing my work related task.
Task : Task it to perform Analysis on reports obtained to WorkSafe Monthly and weekly and getting valuable information out.
For example :
Number of injuries on monthly basis drilled down by department and divisions.
Total days lost in year
Count of type of claims
Possible return date.
So i receive these reports and i add some modified columns to it. Like Correct employee names and their ID's just to create a relationship between Employee database in Powerpivot so that i could get their position, dept and division.
Now every month in new report there could be 2 or 3 new claims added to it, and some existing claims with updates info. like Updated return to work date, Short term disability days etc.
Currently i go through them manually and it's really time consuming and tiring. if there there was older claims weren't getting updates i could've just imported from a folder using power query and added steps to remove duplicates. However, if i remove duplicate claims using powerquery now, basically i'll be removing same claims with updated info.
Could anyone you here suggest an efficient way to do it with power query or with other approach?
Thanks in Advance. I'd appreciate your time and effort.
If you use PowerQuery and select your source From File -> From Folder, when you choose to combine and edit you will get a table with its first column named Source.Name; which you could use to differentiate the updates.
For instance: If I start with two excel files in the same folder (theoretically, they could be different date source files for you)...
WS1.xlsx:
WS1 - Copy.xlsx:
Then I use the folder they are both in as the source...
(Navigate to your folder as appropriate.)
...and select Combine & Edit...
...and select the worksheet...
Then I get this:
...and it is clear what information came from what source file.

fetch data from ms-access to ms-word

i am looking to create an invoice in either MS-excel or MS-word. This invoice will contain several fields like invoice no., customer name, product info, quantity, Amount, Date, Address of customer, phone no. etc. The function of the invoice will be, to generate a unique invoice number, every time i open it, and then the vendor will mention the customer's info, product's info and click on submit button or save it. The info mentioned in the invoice will automatically be saved in the MS-Access database whenever submit button is clicked or the document is saved.
Thus, All the records of the customer will be saved in the MS-Access database. whenever i need to search for a particular customer, i should be able to search it from either invoice no. or any unique field for that particular invoice. I hope my query is explained clearly. please let me know the easiest way to do it. I do not have the vast knowledge about this subject, so give me suggestions that are understandable by a Novice.
I think you are starting from the wrong end. Use an Access form to get the data and then run a mailmerge, the easiest way is to output a text file from Access as the data file and use a Word template for the merge.
An autonumber may suit for invoice number as long as all you need is a unique number. If you need documented sequential numbers, you will have to create then yourself. How you do it will depend on the number of users working at the same time.
I can tell you now, generating Word files with Access is a bit of a pain in the ass. If you really want to do formatting it gets hard (is my experience).
I ended up generating HTML files in which I could control everything, and opening them as .docs. But if you are really new to this, I suggest you start with some VBA tutorials, where they explain to you how you get records from you database and loop through them to generate output. And then you can start looking at file writing functions in VBA.
Can't find any tutorials real quick (my girlfriend is getting angry as we speak), but here is a sample:

Just look around in fora, look for file generation and looping through records.
Hi just reading your post, like Remou l would strongly suggest you use Access to enter and store the data. It is possible to get a user to enter data into a spreadsheet and write the data back to Access DB. Not something l would recommend for the novice, here is a link to some code on how it could be done
Returning to your first question, of creating the invoice have you considered generating the invoices from Access using a report? They can be printed to PDF, or exported to various electronic formats. Or is there specific reason to use Word/Excel? If are going down the route of using Word to generate the invoice then use a template as Remou suggested. See this link for some samples see the section titled Access > Word. I have used the examples as a basis for Access to Word. A number of the examples though use a tecnology called DAO, which l understand will not be included in any operating system after Windows 7. Just something to be aware of.
Searching for a record in a database table this link has one possible solution . Also the author has included a example database.
