Setting up NetSuite for Cash Application in Tabs
Last updated: April 11, 2025
Overview:
To enable Tabs to help reconcile outstanding balances on invoices correctly, your NetSuite items must be set up with the correct revenue accounts. This guide shows you how to configure those items and accounts properly.
Reconciling invoices in Tabs
Tabs has default reconciliation accounts of Bad Debt and Bank Fees — if you have other ways to account for outstanding balances, you can create them. To set up reconciliation, there are two steps; one requires you to log into your ERP or GL, and then into Tabs
Step 1: Creating items in NetSuite
Step 2: Configuring reconciliation in Tabs
Step 1: Creating items in NetSuite
Go to: Lists > Accounting > Items > New (or open an existing item to edit)
Choose the item type 'Non-Inventory Item' > 'For Sale'
Fill in the basic information:
Name: Use a name to represent this type of reconciliation
Open the 'Accounting' tab
Set the “Income Account” to the appropriate account for reconciliation.
This field are used by Tabs to write the correct Journal Entries. If the desired account doesn't exist, you can create it in Setup > Accounting > Chart of Accounts
5. Save the item
Step 2: Configuring reconciliation in Tabs
Go to: Integrations > [Your ERP] and click 'Manage'
For existing reconciliation accounts, such as 'Bad Debt' and 'Bank Fees', select the appropriate integration item that you have just created in NetSuite.
If it does not yet appear in the dropdown, click 'Sync'
To create a new reconciliation method, click 'Add account type'
Name the account after how you wish to reconcile balances on invoices, select the corresponding GL account and integration item you previously created in NetSuite.
Click 'Save'
