Preventing Duplicate Bills by Treating Warnings as Errors in NetSuite

Updated this week

Overview

To prevent duplicate bills from syncing from Procurify into NetSuite, you can enable the “Treat Warnings as Errors” setting in NetSuite.

When enabled, NetSuite converts warning messages into errors—blocking duplicate bills from being created during sync.


Step 1: Navigate to SOAP Web Services Preferences

In NetSuite, navigate to:
Setup → Integration → SOAP Web Services Preferences

Step 2: Enable “Treat Warnings as Errors”

  1. Locate the checkbox: Treat Warnings as Errors

  2. Check the box

  3. Click Save

Step 3: What Happens After Enabling This Setting

Once enabled:

  • NetSuite converts warnings into errors during integrations

  • Duplicate bills are blocked from being created

  • Procurify receives an error instead of completing the sync

Why This Matters

- Prevents duplicate bills in NetSuite
- Improves financial data accuracy
- Reduces manual cleanup and reconciliation


Notes

  • This setting applies to all SOAP web service integrations in NetSuite

  • Other warnings (not just duplicates) will also be treated as errors

  • Make sure your team is aware, as this may surface additional sync errors
