Oracle NetSuite sync error: Invalid reference of item, XXXX in the Invoice

Why the sync error occurs

The following are possible causes for this sync error:

• An object (Vendor, account, item, etc…) on the bill or invoice is not shared with the proper subsidiary
• The item is either inactive or has been deleted
• The account type of the GL is incorrect
  • The account selected is a Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) type and Oracle NetSuite is configured to prevent bills from being coded to COGS
• If using the Oracle NetSuite AR sync feature, the item selected on the invoice is a shipping item
