The NetSuite support team has stated that:
When it comes to disabling the In-Transit Payments Feature in your Production account, this is not yet possible and still treated as a system limitation. This document in SuiteAnswer ID 79737 | Enabling the In-Transit Payments Feature which states that
“After the feature has been enabled, it cannot be disabled.”
We can only resolve this problem by requesting an Account Re-Provisioning. This would mean that we would have to make the account go back from scratch as it will delete ALL transactions/records in the accounts.
To re-provision your account, it would be best to reach out to your customer’s Account Manager.
We have decided to follow the following steps to ensure this enabled feature does not disrupt our standard vendor payment functionality:
- Accounting preference Use In-Transit Vendor Payments By Default should be UNCHECKED. Also ensure the same preference in Subsidiary > Preferences > General is unchecked.
- The Clearing Payments account can be made inactive in the Chart of Accounts. We may need to use NetSuite advanced field help extension as the Inactive checkbox for this account is disabled by standard.
- Hide the In-Transit field in the Vendor Payment transaction form.
