NetSuite Sync Error | You have attempted an invalid sublist or line item operation. You are either trying to access a field on a non-existent line or you are trying to add or remove lines from a static sublist.
Steps to resolve the bill approval status error in NetSuite:
Check the bill status in NetSuite:
- Verify that the bill is in OPEN status.
- If the bill is in Pending Approval, confirm whether a vendor bill approval workflow is in place.
Review your approval workflow setup:
- If you want to continue using the existing NetSuite approval workflow, make sure all required fields are completed so the bill can route for approval.
- If you do not want to use the existing workflow, create a new one that marks bills as APPROVED or OPEN.
Check your NetSuite settings:
- Go to Setup > Accounting > Preferences.
- Select the Order Management tab.
- Scroll to the Vendor Bills section and review the Default Vendor Bill Status.
- If set to Pending Approval, a vendor bill approval workflow is required.
- If set to Approved, bills can sync without additional workflow steps.
Create a new approval workflow (if needed):
- Go to Customization > Workflow > Workflows > New.
- Set these values: Name: Ramp - Vendor Bill Approved; Record Type: Transaction; Subtype: Vendor Bill; Execute as Admin: Checked; Release Status: Released; On View: Checked; On Create or Update: Checked; Context: RESTlet (only).
- Save the workflow.
- In State 1, create a new action and select Set Field Value.
- For Field, choose Approval Status, then select Static > Approved.
Check the vendor’s currency setup:
- Go to Lists Relationship Vendor.
- Locate the vendor and click View.
- Alternatively, use Global Search and type VEN: [Vendor Name].
- Go to the Financial tab and review the Primary Currency.
- If the vendor’s currency does not match the bill currency, update the vendor record to match.
Check Bill Transaction Sync from Ramp to NetSuite:
- Bill payments are paid out in batches: getting sync error
- Check if all the bills in the Ramp batch payment are visible in NetSuite:
- Navigate to one of the bill in Ramp > Open in NetSuite
- Click "Make Payment" -- do you see all the Bills from the Ramp batch?
- NO --> check all the bills in NetSuite (from the batch)
- Check:
- Are the AP Accounts the same?
- Are the currencies the same?
- Are the subsidiaries the same?
- If no to any of the answers above, that is causing issue.
- Edit the bills and change the AP Account / Currency / or Subsidiary.
- Navigate back to the Make Payment page and check if all bills are on that page.
- If so, navigate back to Ramp and retry sync
- Check NetSuite --> Bill Payment should sync and Bills' status is Paid in Full
- *Note: If the bill and bill payment are in NetSuite (System Information shows: Script(RESTlet) and Ramp_Receipt_URL is filled in, then this transaction synced from Ramp) but error still exists in Ramp, click "Mark as Synced".
After completing these steps:
- Return to Ramp and retry the sync.
