Lease accounting for NetSuite

NetSuite has a fixed-asset module and a general ledger, but ASC 842 lessee accounting still tends to live in offline schedules that someone imports as journal entries. The schedules are where the errors hide, and NetSuite can't check them for you.

Start free How exports work

ROU Asset keeps the schedules honest — cents rounding, a final-period true-up, invariants that fail loudly — and hands NetSuite a clean CSV to import. Every figure traces from the journal line back to the lease, which is exactly the trail an auditor asks for.

NetSuite questions

Absolute amount with a posting type, or debit/credit columns?

The built-in NetSuite layout uses an absolute amount plus a Posting Type (D or C), which the standard JE import reads. If your saved import expects separate debit and credit columns, clone the layout and switch the amount mode in the template builder.

Can I map to NetSuite account numbers?

Yes — map each lease account slot to your NetSuite account number in Settings and the export uses it in the Account column.
