How to Look up the ERP ID:

When one of these errors occurs, the Invalid Field Number reported is the ERP ID Number reporting an issue. Click on the Red Triangle Error in the Status column of the AP Push window to view the entire error message, example:

You have entered an Invalid Field Value 233029 for the following field: entity

233029 is the ERP ID in question in this example and since the field indicated in the error is “Entity” that means the issue with the ERP Supplier/Vendor

 
 

Accounts Payable:

In Accounts Payable, you can now go to the section where the error is indicated. “Entity” indicates Suppliers so we will go to Accounts Payable>Suppliers>ERP Total Suppliers

Accounts Payable > Suppliers > ERP Total Suppliers:

Here you can search the Supplier Name or the ERP Supplier ID which is 233029.

Resolving This Error:

1.  In this example, the Supplier selected in the order is Inactive. To resolve the error make this Supplier Active in NetSuite. In some cases the vendor may need to be remapped if there is a duplicate or alternative version of the vendor in NetSuite that is already active.

2.  Click on the Supplier at the AP Push Screen and remap the vendor under the supplier profile and click Save.

3.  Push the Voucher to your ERP System.
