Why the Sync Error occurs

This error occurs when a payment is trying to sync from Bill.com to Oracle NetSuite, but a bill related to the payment has one or more vendor credits applied to it, with a date that's in a closed period in Oracle NetSuite.

1. Open the bill related to the payment
2. Select More actions
3. Select Go to and then Bill Credits
4. Select each credit ref #
5. Check the Credit Date of each applied credit, and verify those dates are not closed in Oracle NetSuite
6. Repeat steps 1-5 for each bill related to the payment
7. Adjust periods in Oracle NetSuite as needed, or manually enter the payment and apply credits in Oracle NetSuite
