NetSuite - Payout reconciliation

Payments collected on a given day are grouped together and settled in one lump sum, minus fees. The GoCardless for NetSuite integration retrieves the details of the lump sum payout and the associated transactions (payout items), and reconciles this data within NetSuite. 

Payout Reconciliation record

A custom Payout Reconciliation record is created in NetSuite to store the data for each GoCardless payout. These records can be found under GoCardless > Payouts > Payout Reconciliation.

A script runs every 30 minutes to process this data, and generate a linked deposit record (to reconcile the payout items) and journal entry (to reconcile the fees). The following details are populated on the Payout Reconciliation page:

A deposit record is created to reconcile the payout items from GoCardless (i.e. the individual transactions that contributed to the lump sum payout amount). The deposit will book all related payment and refund records from the Undeposited Funds account to the appropriate bank account.

Note: the chargeback and late failure payout items are reconciled through journal entries as outlined here. Therefore, these transactions are not booked against the deposit record.

The following information is populated on the deposit:

In case of any exchange rate discrepancies between the deposit record and the related payments and refunds, NetSuite will automatically book an adjusting journal on the bank deposit level. This will impact the Undeposited Funds account, using the Unrealized Matching Gain/Loss account as a contra. Therefore, no adjustment journals need to be created by the integration.

Note: chargeback and late failure payout items may require manual adjustment when using the GoCardless FX feature. Chargeback and late failure payout items are represented as journal entries in NetSuite, and not reconciled through a deposit record. These journal entries would be created in the payment’s collection currency, with the NetSuite exchange rate applied to convert their amounts to the subsidiary's base currency. Therefore, when the GoCardless payout currency differs from the collection currency, this could cause minor discrepancies.
